The Captain Morgan Takeover is set to bring an Amapiano-led party experience to the Akamwesi Hostel parking lot at MUBS this Saturday, August 29.
The event is being positioned as a beginning-of-semester celebration, with live performances, DJs, games and drinks forming part of the programme.
Amapiano will take centre stage, alongside Afrobeats, dancehall and 3-step music. The entertainment lineup will feature CXJ Powell, Jiran Seyn and beatboxer RK Himself.
They will perform alongside DJs Tutu, Wiz J, BonQie Dranix and Dreadlazer, who will handle the DJ sets. The event will be hosted by Josh MC, Ursh Trey and Saint Trevor.
With the activation taking place at MUBS, the Captain Morgan Takeover MUBS edition is aimed at students and young partygoers as they begin a new academic semester.
The event is designed to go beyond music, with organisers planning games and interactive activities alongside the performances. Captain Morgan-branded drinks will also be available throughout the event.
Prizes will be available to be won, although the organisers have not disclosed their value or the specific prizes involved.
The experience is also being presented as an “Instagrammable” one, with the organisers placing emphasis on creating an environment suited to social media moments.
The choice of Amapiano as the main musical direction reflects the genre’s presence within Uganda’s youth entertainment scene.
The programme will nevertheless extend beyond Amapiano, incorporating Afrobeats, dancehall and 3-step to keep the music offering varied.
For fans of an Amapiano party in Kampala, the lineup brings together live performers, DJs and a beatboxer in one event.
RK Himself will add a beatboxing performance to the programme, while CXJ Powell and Jiran Seyn will provide the featured live performances. The timing of the Akamwesi Hostel party is central to the event’s positioning.
Captain Morgan is presenting the activation as a way to mark the beginning of a new academic semester through music, drinks and interactive entertainment.
The event also forms part of Kampala’s wider campus entertainment calendar, where music and social gatherings remain an important part of student life.
Beyond MUBS, the event reflects the way beverage brands are using entertainment experiences to connect with young audiences.
In this case, the Captain Morgan brand is combining its drinks offering with music, games and live entertainment.
Raymond Karama, the Captain Morgan Brand Manager at Uganda Breweries Limited, said the music was only one part of the planned experience.
“The music policy is simply a part of the bigger experience. The Captain Morgan Takeover is a bringing a wholesome party where the drinks are as spicy and flavorful as the mixes, and the games interactive for you and your crew.”
The comment places the emphasis on the combination of music, drinks and games rather than treating the event purely as a concert.
Entry to the Captain Morgan Takeover will require the purchase of any Smirnoff Ice flavour.
