Get ready to immerse yourself in the cultural heartbeat of Kampala at the much-anticipated Roast and Rhyme event, set to take place on Sunday, June 1st. Swangz Avenue has revamped this annual picnic and music celebration, relocating it to a fresh venue—the Hockey Grounds in Lugogo.
The choice of the Hockey Grounds marks a new chapter for this cherished event. Nestled conveniently near the Lugogo Cricket Oval and MTN Arena, this spacious site offers easy access for city dwellers eager to relax and enjoy the festivities. Entrance will be a breeze; attendees can access the venue through the National Council of Sports main gate on Coronation Avenue.
Although attendees will miss the serene lakeside views that defined previous editions, the energetic atmosphere of the city will harmonize perfectly with the new urban picnic vibe. The open field encourages both relaxation and dance, allowing guests to soak in the vibrant culture that Roast and Rhyme consistently celebrates.
Traditionally, a major highlight was the self-roasting aspect, where guests brought their grills; however, the new venue’s layout has altered this setup. Fear not, as a diverse selection of pre-cooked roasted delicacies from top-tier food vendors will be readily available on-site. Get ready to indulge in mouthwatering roasts while enjoying the lively beats and company of fellow attendees.
Music enthusiasts are in for a sensational experience! The lineup predominantly mirrors that of the previously postponed event, featuring a stellar mix of notable artists:
– Winnie Nwagi
– Karole Kasita
– Sama Soja
– Fyno UG
– Beenie Gunter
– Black Wave Band
– Double Black
And the excitement doesn’t end there! Swangz Avenue teases the announcement of surprise performances that promise to elevate the day’s musical experience even further.
Convenience is a core aspect of the Hockey Grounds’ appeal, perfectly positioned for easy access from all over Kampala. This allows everyone to come together for a joyful celebration. Gates will swing open at 11 AM, so plan to arrive early to settle in with friends and savor delightful food before the festivities kick off.
