The custodians of the Nyege Nyege portal are thrilled to announce that American DJ and producer Skrillex will perform at the 10th Anniversary of Nyege Nyege Festival, taking place November 20–23, 2025 at the breathtaking Kalagala Falls on the Nile River, hosted at the Adrift Overland Camp & River Club.
One of the most influential artists of our time, Skrillex has revolutionized global dance music, headlining the world’s biggest festivals, Coachella, Glastonbury, Tomorrowland, and Lollapalooza, and collaborating with icons including Justin Bieber, Beyoncé, The Weeknd, Ed Sheeran, Diplo, and Fred Again.. With multiple Grammy Awards and billions of streams to his name, his debut at Nyege Nyege marks a historic milestone for East Africa and a defining moment in the festival’s decade-long legacy.
Alongside Skrillex, Nyege Nyege 2025 will present a diverse lineup of 100+ artists across six immersive stages, weaving together ancestral rhythms, underground innovations, and future-facing sounds. Many more acts will be revealed in the coming months, promising an unforgettable journey of music, culture, and community.
Founded as an underground gathering on the banks of the Nile, Nyege Nyege has grown into a global movement celebrating alternative African music, radical creativity, and communal joy. Over the past ten years, it has connected thousands of artists, dancers, and dreamers worldwide, fostering a unique cultural ecosystem rooted in Uganda.
This tenth edition is not just a celebration, it’s a bold declaration of the future. After years of exploration along the riverbanks, Nyege Nyege has found its new home at Kalagala Falls, a sacred and stunning location offering sweeping views, riverside wilderness, on-site bungee jumping, and world-class festival infrastructure.
Beyond the music, attendees can look forward to a dedicated adventure and discovery package in partnership with sautisafari.com, plus an exclusive perk: early bird ticket holders will receive six months of free TRACE+ access, featuring festival content, artist features, live drops, curated playlists, creator contests, and giveaways.
Nyege Nyege Festival 2025 is proudly organized by Talent Africa Group, in collaboration with Uganda Waragi, MTN, Trace TV, NBS TV, NRG Radio, Explore Uganda, and Safe Boda.
