There’s something timeless about Kampala’s nights, how music fills the air, laughter blends with rhythm, and friendships form under the glow of city lights. On October 18th, 2025, that energy came alive at the first-ever Mojjo Music Fest, hosted at the scenic Mojjo Kampala rooftop in Muyenga.
By 3 PM, the rooftop began to hum with excitement as early revellers streamed in. They were greeted by the sounds of live instruments tuning up, the aroma of sizzling food, and the sight of bartenders mixing Mojjo’s famous cocktails. Every sip and bite felt like a celebration of Kampala’s creative heartbeat.
As the sun softened over Muyenga’s hills, the crowd settled into the groove. Eduardo Kayondo soon took the stage, filling the evening air with his beloved hit Omwana W’eNabbingo. The live band kept the energy high, their melodies weaving perfectly with the cool breeze and city skyline.
When 9 PM struck, the moment everyone had been waiting for arrived. Kohen Jaycee stepped into the spotlight, and the crowd erupted in cheers. His voice carried effortlessly through the night as he performed fan favourites like Ndi Nawe, Siganye, Not Letting Go, Ability, Eva, and Rwebembera.
Each song drew louder applause, with the audience singing along word for word. The connection between Kohen and his fans was undeniable; it was pure, powerful, and filled with joy. They sang along to every lyric, their voices rising with Kohen’s in perfect harmony, and when he finished his performance, the crowd was left yearning for more.
Even after his set, the energy never dipped. A lineup of rising stars followed, each adding their unique spark to the stage. Among them, Dreventy closed the night with electrifying performances of Ma Way and Check on Me. His confidence and charm sealed the night with an unforgettable finale.
From start to finish, the Mojjo Music Fest felt like more than just an event; it was a movement. It celebrated local talent, unity, and the soulful rhythm that defines Kampala. Guests danced, laughed, and toasted to a night that will linger in memory for months to come.
The festival returns every month, promising more music, more flavour, and more magic under the stars. So, if you missed the first edition, don’t make the same mistake twice. Get ready to experience the rhythm, the energy, and the vibe of Mojjo Music Fest, Kampala’s newest monthly music tradition.
