The Old School Picnic Kampala will mark its first anniversary this Sunday at Sheraton Kampala Hotel Gardens, bringing together Myko Ouma, Lillian Mbabazi and Jose Sax for an afternoon centred on live music and nostalgia.
The anniversary edition will also feature DJ sets from DJ Ssese, DJ Kasbaby and Cacie, while Ms Deedan will host the gathering.
The event will combine performances with food, drinks and branded experiences from Baileys and Tusker Cider.
For an event built around music from earlier decades, the anniversary provides an opportunity to revisit the sound that has defined the picnic since its launch in Kampala a year ago.
Its programming has centred on old-school RnB, soul and Ugandan classics, creating a musical identity based on songs and sounds associated with past decades.
The first anniversary therefore keeps the event’s original theme intact while bringing together live performers and DJs for the occasion. Myko Ouma will be among the leading performers at the anniversary event.
Ouma, described as an instrumentalist and producer, will perform with live musicians, bringing a live band element to the programme.
Lillian Mbabazi will also take the stage, performing songs from her music career. Jose Sax will contribute a live instrumental performance, adding another dimension to the music programme.
The three performers will be supported by DJ Ssese, DJ Kasbaby and Cacie, who will take the audience through RnB, soul and Ugandan favourites from past decades.
The combination of live performances and DJ sets reflects the format that has shaped the Old School Picnic since its beginning.
Rather than focusing only on stage performances, the event has developed as a social experience built around music, food and drinks.
That format will continue at the anniversary edition at Sheraton Kampala Hotel Gardens. The event will also include branded experiences from Baileys and Tusker Cider.
The two brands are supporting the anniversary and their activities are intended to complement the relaxed outdoor setting of the picnic.
The Baileys brand manager linked the brand’s involvement to the social side of the occasion.
“Baileys is about enjoying the sweeter moments in life and sharing them with people who matter,” the Baileys brand manager said.
The Tusker Cider brand manager also said the picnic had created a community around music and shared memories.
However, the exact wording of the Tusker Cider brand manager’s statement was not provided and should therefore not be treated as a direct quotation.
The Old School Picnic was launched in Kampala one year ago and has since developed a following around old-school RnB, soul and Ugandan classics.
Its identity has remained closely connected to nostalgia and music from earlier periods.
That focus places the event within Kampala’s entertainment calendar as a gathering built around familiar music and a shared social experience.
The anniversary also brings together several elements that have shaped the picnic, including live musicians, DJs, food and drinks.
For audiences interested in Kampala old school events, the programme offers a mix of established Ugandan performers and DJs whose sets will focus on music from past decades.
The involvement of Myko Ouma, Lillian Mbabazi and Jose Sax also gives the anniversary a strong live-performance component.
At the same time, DJ Ssese, DJ Kasbaby and Cacie will maintain the old-school RnB, soul and Ugandan classics theme through their sets.
The event’s format makes music only one part of the afternoon, with food, drinks and brand experiences also forming part of the gathering.
The first-anniversary edition is scheduled for this Sunday at Sheraton Kampala Hotel Gardens.
Myko Ouma, Lillian Mbabazi and Jose Sax will lead the live performances, while DJ Ssese, DJ Kasbaby and Cacie will provide the DJ sets.
Ms Deedan will host the event.
Food and drinks will be available as part of the social experience, with Baileys and Tusker Cider supporting the occasion through branded experiences.
The source does not provide the exact starting time, ticket prices, detailed performance schedule or the specific activities planned by the two supporting brands.
It also does not confirm any additional performers beyond those already announced. The anniversary will instead centre on the established identity of the picnic: familiar music, live performances, DJs and a social outdoor setting.
After a year of building its place around old-school RnB, soul and Ugandan classics, the Old School Picnic Kampala now reaches its first anniversary with a programme designed to keep that musical identity at the heart of the experience.
