There was a time when a good night out did not need a complicated formula. Give people great music, a little style, good company and enough room to sing along, and the rest would take care of itself.
That spirit is returning this October as Old School Soiree celebrates its third anniversary with a throwback night dedicated to the unforgettable sounds and style of the 1990s.
Presented by Camelot Concepts and Ssese Nation, the anniversary edition, dubbed Chapter III, takes place on October 3, 2026, at Coco Pool Bar at Fairway Boutique Hotel.
For three years, Old School Soiree has built its identity around nostalgia, bringing together a crowd that appreciates music from an era when R&B, hip-hop, soul and pop classics could turn a room into one giant singalong.
This time, the organisers are taking the nostalgia even further with a “90s Fine” dress code, inviting guests to bring the fashion of the decade back to life.
Think timeless silhouettes, statement pieces and the kind of effortless style that defined an era before social media dictated every look.
But fashion is only half the story, the real attraction is the soundtrack.
The 90s produced a catalogue of songs that continue to find new audiences decades later. For those who grew up with the music, the night offers a chance to revisit familiar memories and for younger revellers, it is an opportunity to experience the songs that shaped an earlier generation of music lovers.
That cross-generational appeal has become part of the charm of Kampala's growing old-school entertainment scene, where throwback events are increasingly turning nostalgia into a full lifestyle experience.
At Old School Soiree, the idea is simple, dress the part, bring your people and let the music take you back.
On October 3rd, Coco Pool Bar will become a meeting point for old-school lovers looking to celebrate three years of an experience built around music, memories and timeless style.
The DJs play a crucial role in curating this experience, spinning classic tracks that keep the energy high.
Beyond the music and fashion, the Old School Soiree thrives on community spirit. These gatherings are where friendships are rekindled, and new ones are formed over a shared love for musical golden years.
Organized by Camelot Concepts & Ssese Nation, the nightlife at these soirees is electric, filled with vibrant energy, laughter, and unforgettable moments.
