The evening kicked off with Makeda, who took on the challenge of energising a crowd still finding their seats, keeping fans engaged with her lively music mixes.
DJ Lamper followed, commanding the stage with a mix of music and dance, supported by the event hosts, including Rock Try. By the time Kivumbi King hit the stage, the arena was packed. He fired up the crowd with his hits, joined by Kenny K-Shot and Angel Mutoni for dynamic collaborations that had fans on their feet.
After Kivumbi King's performance, DJ Lamper returned with even more energy, joined briefly by a dance troupe led by Divine Uwa, adding flair to the night's entertainment.
Then it was Shenseea's turn. The Jamaican sensation delivered a show-stopping performance, opening with a collaborative number alongside children from the Sherrie Silver Foundation. She later invited fans onto the stage, including Amandah Darling and Mutoni Etania, creating interactive, unforgettable moments. Fellow artists Diez Dolla and Joshua Baraka also joined, receiving rapturous applause.
Headliner Mavado closed the night in grand style. Despite some fans seeing him live for the first time, he captivated everyone with his chart-topping hits and commanding stage presence. After over an hour of non-stop performance, Mavado wrapped up the concert around 1:00 AM, leaving fans exhilarated.
