About the event
Nyege Nyege returns for its 11th edition from 19 to 22 November at Kalagala Falls on the River Nile near Jinja, with riverside camping at Adrift Overland Camp on the festival grounds. The organisers say more than 200 (elsewhere on the same page, 300+) artists will play across seven stages.
This year's theme is the Wakaliwood Edition: the site says the whole festival becomes a movie set. The festival offers music, film, art, culture and adventure. The line-up has not been announced.
Good to know
- Buy only from the official sellers: MTN MoMo Ticketing and Tag Ticketing (East Africa), Resident Advisor (outside East Africa); the organiser warns that tickets sold anywhere else may be fake and will not be honoured
- Camping is available on site
