Lydia Jazmine turns Cricket Oval into a night of musical memories and surprises

What the report says

Lugogo Cricket Oval in Kampala hosted Lydia Jazmine’s “The One and Only” concert last Friday, drawing thousands of music fans for what The Observer described as a high-energy night of performances, social moments and a few surprises. The event positioned the Ugandan singer among a strong lineup of local acts and appeared to underscore her standing as one of the country’s prominent female performers.

According to The Observer, the audience began arriving from about 3pm and the venue filled with photo stops, fireworks and a busy pre-show atmosphere. Performers on the bill included Sheebah Karungi, Lillian Mbabazi, Fefe Bussi, Ray G and Anknown, while DJs bridged the live sets. The concert also became a gathering point for fans and friends looking to enjoy a major live music event.

A brief technical interruption came during a duet with Geosteady when the sound cut out, but the moment was quickly turned into part of the spectacle as the crowd chanted for the show to continue. Lydia later took the stage to perform songs including “Cherie,” “Same Way,” “Masuuka” and “You and Me,” with the audience singing along throughout. The report suggests the strong turnout and response reflected her enduring popularity with Ugandan listeners.
