After a string of pulsating teasers and a viral tweet from Patoranking’s official Twitter handle, Nigerian reggae-dancehall singer Patoranking is officially set to perform in Uganda at the Cricket Oval, Lugogo on the 25th October 2019.
At a press conference packed with all-round media houses, influencers and socialites, the event organizers, Evoke Uganda and Ubuntu Connect addressed the press on ongoing preparations to pull-off a memorable concert.
In June this year, Patoranking's management held a press conference in Uganda alongside event organizers and partners to officially release his newest album “Wilmer” to the Ugandan market.
It was this time that rumours started swirling that the dancehall artist was returning to Uganda.
The Suh-different hit maker needs no introduction with his sun- soaked sounds and massive hits splurging around the airwaves. His most recent collabo with Uganda’s fresh bouy; Fik Fameica, Omu Bwati stands as one of the country’s most celebrated musical anthems of the year.
“It’s been a longtime coming prepping for this show. My team and I have equipped ourselves with well-suited sponsors, partners and service providers to enable us put on a show for the ages. Aside from the main show, there’s a meet and greet at Thrones and an after party is in the works. There’s a lot to look forward to this October," Timothy Bukenya, curator of Evoke Uganda.
Ugandan acts slated to perform at the event are Vinka, Cindy, Gravity Omutujju, Big Trill, Bennie Gunter, John Blaq and Evoke night’s reigning act; the Evoke band. The event will also be bathed in the glory of Live DJ from Sesse, Naselow, Cisse, Fem DJ, Kasbaby, Albreezy, Mackus and Irakoze.
"We are really excited to finally see this through and host Patoranking in our beautiful country for the Wilmer Concert. The fans have been eagerly waiting. Thanks to Patoranking and team for the mutual love and cooperation they have extended to us over the year. Much gratitude goes to Evoke Uganda for stepping in to work with us and this will definitely be a mind blowing experience for everyone...Sky Level,” said Blessing Bekunda - Co-founder Ubuntu Connect
“XFM has always been at the forefront of freshness and creativity. We are happy to work with Evoke on the various projects but extremely excited about Patoranking,” said XFM’s Ghislain Masamba
