Some of Kenya’s biggest names in music and comedy take to the stage for a music-inspired political and activism concert at Uhuru Park this Sunday.
The event is expected to draw thousands of young Kenyans, with a unique entry requirement attendee must present a valid voter’s card.
Earlier last month Comedian Eric Omondi announced that plans for the concert were underway uging young Kenyans to turn up for voter registration ahead of the 2027 General Election.
In a post shared across his social media platforms, Omondi asked: “Which artist do you want to see perform during the TUKO KADI CONCERT. Remember kuingia NI KADI!!!”
And now the concert, features a powerhouse lineup including Juliani, Savara, Wyre, Ssaru, King Kaka, Nameless, Redsan, Bensoul, Octopizzo and Moji Shortbabaa, Bien, Eric Omondi among others marks a growing shift where Kenya’s creative industry is stepping beyond entertainment into active civic mobilisation.
Tickets for the concert went up this week on independent ticketing platform Madfun and are going for absolutely zero shillings.
At the heart of the initiative is a movement that has been quietly gaining momentum among the youth, largely driven by frustration over governance issues and amplified through digital activism.
In recent years, social media has become a powerful organising tool, with creatives and influencers using their platforms to push conversations around accountability, leadership and the power of the vote.
Figures like Eric Omondi have taken activism to the streets, while musicians such as Juliani and King Kaka have consistently infused their art with messages of social justice and political awareness.
By tying entry to voter registration, organisers are sending a deliberate message: civic participation is not optional, and the ballot remains one of the most effective tools for change.
Uhuru park by itself is long associated with public gatherings and historic moments in Kenya’s political journey, the park now becomes the stage for a new kind of engagement.
Beyond the performances, the concert reflects a broader trend of artists reclaiming their role as voices of the people.
From the conscious sounds of earlier generations to the bold, genre-blending expressions of today’s stars, Kenyan music has often mirrored the country’s social temperatures
