Kampala’s most anticipated nostalgic outdoor experience is getting even bigger. Naava Grey and Kenneth Mugabi have officially been unveiled as the headline performers for The Millennials Picnic, set to take place on Saturday, 8th August 2026 at the beautiful Canary Gardens.
Known for their heartfelt songwriting, timeless hits, and unforgettable live performances, the two Afro-soul stars are set to deliver an intimate musical experience that perfectly captures the essence of the event.

Kenneth Mugabi is widely celebrated for his authentic Afro-soul storytelling, while Naava Grey continues to captivate audiences with her rich vocals and emotionally charged performances. Together, they promise a soundtrack that will leave every guest reminiscing long after the event ends.
But The Millennials Picnic is much more than a concert. It is a carefully curated lifestyle experience created for people who appreciate meaningful conversations, beautiful outdoor spaces, great music, and genuine human connection. Designed as a day-to-sundown escape from the city’s fast pace, the event invites guests to slow down, reconnect with friends, and relive the soundtrack of their generation in a relaxed garden setting.
Beyond the live performances, music lovers will enjoy an exciting lineup of some of Kampala’s finest DJs, each bringing a unique blend of old-school classics, R&B, soul, Afro-pop throwbacks, and timeless anthems that defined an era. Taking over the decks are DJ Slick Stuart, Selecta Jeff, DJ Matson, Sal DJ, DJ Lennon, DJ Maxxie Kizito, and DJ Heydez, ensuring the energy flows seamlessly from the first song of the afternoon to the final sunset set.
The experience has been thoughtfully designed to offer something for everyone. Guests can unwind on picnic mats beneath the trees, indulge in a wide selection of food and refreshing drinks, enjoy interactive lawn games and card games, capture memories at beautifully curated photo spots, and simply soak in an atmosphere built around relaxation, nostalgia, and celebration. Whether attending with a partner, family, or an entire squad, The Millennials Picnic promises the perfect balance of entertainment, comfort, and community.
Adding to the excitement is the event’s signature White & Khaki dress theme, which has become a defining part of the experience. The elegant yet relaxed colour palette transforms Canary Gardens into a visually stunning celebration of style, making every corner picture-perfect for guests looking to create lasting memories.
