After more than a decade of delivering hit songs and shaping Uganda’s music industry, A Pass finally gave fans what they had been waiting for—his first-ever solo concert. And if the reactions are anything to go by, it was nothing short of phenomenal.
The concert, held last night at the prestigious Serena Kampala Hotel, not only cemented A Pass’s place among Uganda’s top-tier artists but also set a new standard for live music performances in the country.
A Night of Music, Magic & Unforgettable Moments
From the moment fans stepped into the elegantly set-up venue, it was clear that this was not just another concert—it was a carefully curated experience.
The stage design was visually stunning, blending modern aesthetics with sophisticated lighting that enhanced the mood of every song performed. But what truly elevated the experience was the flawless sound quality—a detail that A Pass had meticulously planned.
“I flew in my sound engineer from Sweden because I wanted everything to be perfect,” A Pass revealed.
The decision paid off immensely. Fans and music critics alike praised the audio quality, giving it a perfect 10/10—a rare feat in Uganda’s live concert scene.
A Pass’s Performance: Pure, Unfiltered Talent
Rather than relying on elaborate costume changes or theatrics, A Pass let his raw musical talent take center stage.
His fashion choices for the night were simple yet elegant, proving that style doesn’t have to overshadow substance. Instead of multiple outfit changes, he kept it minimal, focusing purely on delivering a vocal and visual masterpiece.
His setlist took fans on a journey through his music evolution, with a perfect mix of:
✔ Early career hits that brought nostalgia
✔ Fan favorites that had the crowd singing along
✔ Newer releases showcasing his artistic growth
A Unique Concert Format: No Overcrowding of Performers
In an industry where concerts often feature long lists of guest performers, A Pass took a bold and refreshing approach—he kept the focus on himself.
Unlike traditional Ugandan concerts that include multiple artists, A Pass limited the number of guest appearances. Only Lilian Mbabazi and Likkle Bangi shared the stage with him, delivering special collaborations that added variety without overshadowing the main act.
“Artists should come to support, not to perform at concerts,” A Pass emphasized in an interview.
This approach allowed his fans to fully immerse themselves in his artistry, rather than being distracted by an endless parade of guest artists.
Ugandan Celebrities Show Up in Full Support
Even though only a few artists joined him on stage, A Pass’s concert had no shortage of star power in the audience. Some of Uganda’s biggest names in music, entertainment, and politics turned up to show their support.
Among the notable figures spotted in the crowd were:
🎤 Bobi Wine – The musician-turned-politician made headlines not just for his presence but also for a viral moment with Bukedde TV’s Simo Omunene.
🎵 Azawi – The talented Swangz Avenue singer, known for her electrifying performances, came through to cheer for A Pass.
🎸 Elijah Kitaka – One of Uganda’s rising stars, Kitaka was part of the A-list crowd celebrating A Pass’s big night.
Their presence underscored A Pass’s influence in the industry and further solidified his status as one of Uganda’s most respected artists.
Final Thoughts: A Concert for the History Books
For an artist who had spent over a decade in the industry without hosting a solo concert, expectations were high—and A Pass exceeded them all.
His vision for quality, commitment to delivering an intimate experience, and decision to keep the spotlight on himself rather than overloading the stage with guest performers made this event truly special.
With such a strong debut concert, the only question left is—when’s the next one?
One thing is certain: Ugandan music lovers will be waiting.
