Kampala’s love affair with R&B and soul music continues. On Friday, February 13th, 2026, Strictly Soul Kampala returns with its much-anticipated pre-Valentine’s Day edition. Once again, Africa’s favorite R&B and soul party sets the stage for a night filled with rhythm, emotion, and unforgettable vibes.
Over the years, Strictly Soul has grown into more than just a party. Instead, it has become a movement that celebrates music, style, and connection. Because of its past sold-out editions, anticipation for this return already runs high. This time, the experience promises even more energy, elegance, and musical depth.
From the moment the music starts, the atmosphere pulls you in. Classic and contemporary R&B and soul hits flow effortlessly from the 90s to today. As a result, every song sparks memories, emotions, and singalong moments. Expect crowd favorites from Beyoncé, TLC, Bruno Mars, Mary J. Blige, Summer Walker, and many more.
Meanwhile, DJ Akio, alongside special guest DJs, delivers high-energy sets that keep the dance floor alive all night. Each transition feels intentional. Each beat connects the crowd. Because of this, whether you come to dance, vibe, or simply listen, the music always finds you.
Beyond the sound, Strictly Soul creates a complete lifestyle experience. The intimate and stylish setting at Mestil Hotel, Kampala, sets the tone for the night. Premium cocktails flow smoothly, while a fashionable crowd raises the bar with bold, elegant looks. Naturally, dressing to impress becomes part of the culture.
More importantly, the timing makes it perfect. As a pre-Valentine’s celebration, the event offers couples, friends, and music lovers a chance to connect before the big day. Instead of rushing through dinner plans, guests sink into a soulful mid-week escape that feels personal and exciting.
Ticket demand already reflects the hype. Early Bird tickets sold out quickly, confirming the event’s strong following. However, fans can still secure their spot through the current pre-sale rounds before prices rise at the gate.
