Nyege Nyege Festival has unveiled a limited Shs110,000 full-access ticket offer as organisers step up preparations for the 11th edition of the internationally recognised music and cultural extravaganza scheduled for November.
The promotional Tribe Full Access tickets are targeting early bookers ahead of the four-day festival, which will take place from November 19 to November 22, 2026, at Adrift Overland Camp in Kalagala Falls along the River Nile.
Organisers have urged festivalgoers to take advantage of the discounted offer before the deadline, although the promotion is scheduled to close at midnight on October 20, 2026.
The tickets can be purchased through the MTN MoMo App, by dialling *16520# or through MTN MoMo ticketing services. The upcoming edition will be held under the theme “The Wakaliwood Edition”, a concept organisers say will fuse Uganda’s home-grown action-film industry with the festival’s established identity in music, fashion, visual arts, culture and adventure.
More than 200 artistes are expected to perform across seven stages during the four-day event, offering festivalgoers a wide range of musical and artistic experiences.
According to organisers, the Wakaliwood concept will transform the festival grounds into a live movie set, drawing inspiration from Uganda’s distinctive action-film culture while incorporating performances and other creative experiences.
Wakaliwood, a name associated with Uganda’s locally produced action films, has attracted international attention for its energetic productions, unconventional storytelling and grassroots approach to filmmaking.
By incorporating the theme into Nyege Nyege, organisers are seeking to showcase Uganda’s creative identity beyond music and introduce festival audiences to another dimension of the country’s entertainment industry.
The festival has grown into one of Uganda’s biggest international music and cultural events, attracting performers, tourists and other visitors from across Africa and beyond.
Its continued growth has also made it a platform for promoting Uganda’s cultural diversity, tourism attractions and creative industries to international audiences.The 2026 edition is supported by Talent Africa Group, Uganda Waragi, Explore Uganda, Uganda Tourism Board, MTN, NBS Television, KISS FM, Adrift Uganda and SafeBoda.
Organisers are encouraging prospective attendees to secure their tickets early and begin making arrangements for the November gathering.The event is being promoted under the slogan, “Same river. New chapter.
Different madness,” signalling a fresh experience at the festival’s familiar River Nile setting.With its combination of music, film, fashion, art and adventure, the 11th edition is expected to continue Nyege Nyege’s tradition of bringing together diverse creative communities for a four-day celebration.
