Hey fam, it’s me, your friendly neighbourhood event plug – coming through with the real tea on what’s actually worth leaving the house for this week. Kampala is not playing around. We’ve got Amapiano straight from South Africa, soulful Good Friday vibes, a massive Saturday party takeover, and two completely different Sunday experiences that are both calling my name
Tuesday, 31 March – Krug Elegant Tuesdays ft. DJ Smallz
If your week needs an immediate upgrade, this is it. Krug in Bugolobi is launching their new Elegant Tuesdays and they brought in DJ Smallz all the way from SA. The guy is the wave behind the “Zero Zep” sound that’s been blowing up everywhere. Expect proper Amapiano, luxury vibes, good drinks, and that mid-week reset we all secretly need.
Time: Starts around 6/7 PM (typical Krug energy) Venue: Krug, Plot 1 Bandali Rise, Bugolobi Entry: No fixed ticket price – just reserve your table early WhatsApp: +256 791 146655
Hosted by Darkside Empire. If you love Amapiano and classy nights, this one’s for you. I already know my squad is texting the number tonight.
Thursday, April 2 – Kohen Jaycee Live Room at Motiv
Mid-week but make it memorable. Kohen Jaycee (one of UG’s smoothest urban voices) is doing an intimate live performance at Motiv in Bugolobi. Think hits performed live, great food, drinks flowing, and that proper Kampala crowd energy without the weekend chaos.
Time: 4:00 PM – 11:30 PM. Venue: Motiv, Bugolobi. Tickets: UGX 25,000 (grab them now on tagticketing.com)
Perfect if you want live music but still have to pretend you’re responsible on Thursday.
Friday, April 3 (Good Friday) – Melanin Soul & RnB at The Alchemist
Good Friday doesn’t have to be boring, people. Head to The Alchemist Bar & Kitchen for smooth RnB and soul all night with BlackRoots Academy of Soul and Black Roots Unlimited doing live sets. Good food, signature cocktails, and a crowd that actually knows how to vibe.
Time: 5:00 PM – 11:30 PM. Venue: The Alchemist Bar & Kitchen, Bandali Rise. Tickets: available on quicket.
Saturday, April 4 – The Day Kampala Goes Crazy
Saturday is stacked, so choose your fighter (or do a crawl if you’re built different):
- Etania: Becoming the Life of the Party at Lugogo Hockey Grounds DJ Etania’s big headline debut. High-energy sets, storytelling, and pure party chaos from one of the most in-demand DJs in town. Time: 2:00 PM – 11:30 PM Tickets: Phase 1 at UGX 50,000 (buy early on lifeoftheparty.ug)
- Old School Soirée Vol 30 (FREE!) at The Alchemist The legendary Ssese Nation DJs spinning R&B and golden-era classics all day. No ticket needed – just show up and relive your youth. Time: 1:00 PM – 11:30 PM Reservations recommended: 0777 194006
Other Saturday options floating around: Masquerade Outdoor Movie Night with Winnie Nwagi at Hotel 360 Ndejje.
Sunday, April 5 (Easter Sunday)
Sunday is giving options:
Option 1: Spinny and Friends BBQ Experience at Mezo Noir. Daytime outdoor BBQ vibes all day long with DJ Spinny (aka Minister of Enjoyments) and the whole crew. Good food on the grill, Afro House, drinks, and that Sunday unwind energy. Perfect if you want sun, laughter, and zero stress. Venue: Mezo Noir, Kololo. Time: All day (daytime into evening).
Option 2: The Trinity X Perience at Krug. Same day, completely different mood. This is the premium luxury takeover powered by Official Belaire Uganda and Bumbu. Evelyn Mic on the mic, DJ Slick Stuart & DJ Roja on the decks. Think elevated vibes, premium pours, and the “you had to be there” energy. Venue: Krug, Bugolobi Time: Evening Reserve tables early – this one is already teasing hard on @official_belaire_uganda and @krug_ug.
Quick Real Talk & Tips
- Book tables NOW for Etania’s show, Krug events and The Alchemist – they fill up stupidly fast.
- Bugolobi and Kololo are easy SafeBoda/Uber territory, but leave early if you hate traffic.
- Weather looks decent, so outdoor stuff (Etania, Spinny BBQ) should be lovely.
- Full calendar and any last-minute drops are always on www.allevents.ug – they update faster than anyone.
