Despite Uganda’s growing music industry and the success of local artists at major venues, no Ugandan musician has yet held a concert at Mandela National Stadium, commonly known as Namboole Stadium.Among the artists who have publicly expressed interest in staging a concert at the iconic venue are Bobi Wine and Levixone.While Bobi Wine’s request to perform at the stadium was reportedly turned down in 2019, Levixone has revealed that his own plans were disrupted because the facility was undergoing renovation at the time.The gospel singer explained that he had already secured the venue and made the necessary payments for his planned Kikibombe concert before learning that the stadium would not be available.In 2023, we went to Kololo Airstrip, but before Kololo, we announced the Kikibombe concert at Namboole Stadium. We had already paid our money there. We didn’t take it because we still have a dream to fill it up. Which we will do, no matter when, but the time we wanted it, it was under renovation. So we went to Kololo Airstrip in 2023.Although the concert was eventually relocated to Kololo Airstrip, the singer insists that his ambition to perform at Namboole remains alive.Levixone believes that staging a successful concert at the country’s largest stadium remains one of the biggest milestones he hopes to achieve in his career, regardless of when the opportunity presents itself.Over the years, several Ugandan artists have demonstrated their drawing power by filling major venues such as Lugogo Cricket Oval and Millennium Grounds.However, none has yet headlined and filled Namboole Stadium for a standalone concert.KCCA and NEMA raid and confiscate bar sound equipmentOne of the most memorable concerts ever held at the venue remains that of late South African reggae legend Lucky Dube, whose performance attracted a massive crowd and is still remembered as one of the biggest music events in Uganda’s history.As Uganda’s concert industry continues to grow, the question remains whether any local artist will eventually become the first Ugandan musician to successfully fill Namboole Stadium.The post Levixone: My dream of filling Namboole stadium is still alive appeared first on MBU.
