The Koroga Festival is back, and this time it's bigger and better than ever. The 27th edition of the festival will take place at the prestigious Two Rivers Mall in Kiambu County on September 21-22.
This year's festival promises to be a showstopper in the entertainment industry, with a lineup of award-winning artistes from across Africa. The Two Rivers hosted event will take place on both days of the weekend, with a different set of performers each day.
On day one, music lovers can expect to see the newest sensation in the Kenyan Music scene, the Sailors, who are currently riding high with their hit songs Wamlambez and Pekejeng. Also featuring on day one are the Decimators and Zzero Sufuri.
But the highlight of the festival will be on day two, which will feature two of Kenyan dancehall legends, Redsan and Wyre the love child, as well as the Legendary Reggae act from Cote D'Ivore, Alphablondy and the Solar system band. This will be the first time the Sweet Fanta Diallo singer will be performing in Kenya.
Speaking on phone ahead of his performance, Alphablondy revealed, 'I am excited to be performing in Nairobi after a long break, it feels good to be back to this beautiful country in the motherland Africa.'
Organisers have also put in place measures to ensure a smooth experience for attendees, including partnering with SWVL to provide transportation to and from the venue on both days.
For those who missed last year's edition, which took place at the Uhuru Gardens and saw thousands show up for the legendary show headlined by Malian royalty Salif Keita, this year's festival promises to be just as exciting.
