Muyenga-based Record Label Swangz Avenue is bound to celebrate 10 years of rocking the Ugandan Music industry, in a feat which will feature four regional music celebrations around the country, that will culminate in a grand finale on Friday 31st August at Lugogo Cricket Oval. At the Square Place in Industrial Area yesterday, a presser/activation was done.

“Over the last 10 years, we have witnessed the growth of Ugandan music and local music talent. From the big names that were here a decade ago, to the new faces who are churning out great music. The Swangz All Star Tour will bring all these in one big music celebration, on one stage, to perform the best Ugandan hits”, said Benon Mugumbya, Founder Swangz Avenue.

Class is permanent. Remember The Whistle Song and Mr. DJ?

The artists who will feature in The All Star Tour include Fik Fameica, Ykee Benda, Bebe Cool, Winnie Nwagi, Sheebah, Vinka, Vampos, A pass and more.

Asked about the rumor of Jamaican reggae star Tarrus Riley coming for the celebrations, Benon added more speculation,

”We have not yet confirmed who, but we are working on having an international artist for the finale. And we can be celebrating a decade of our existence in Uganda by calling a foreigner to headline.”
