What the report says

Sqoop Uganda reports that the Old School Picnic will celebrate its first anniversary this Sunday at the Sheraton Kampala Hotel Gardens in Kampala. The event is being positioned as a return to the nostalgic format that helped it build a following over the past year, with a focus on classic RnB, soul and Ugandan music.

For the anniversary edition, organizers plan live performances from Myko Ouma, Jose Sax and singer Lillian Mbabazi, alongside sets from DJs Ssese, Kasbaby and Cacie. Ms Deedan is also expected to host on the microphone. The article says the lineup is meant to keep the afternoon moving between familiar old-school songs and live musicianship.

The publisher says the picnic has become a gathering point for audiences who want to reconnect with songs and memories from earlier years, with people singing together, meeting friends and enjoying an outdoor social atmosphere. It also notes support from brands such as Baileys and Tusker Cider, which will add food and drink experiences to the celebration.

More broadly, the piece reflects how nostalgia-driven entertainment events have become part of Kampala’s lifestyle scene. If the anniversary draws a strong crowd, it would underline the staying power of curated throwback music events in Uganda’s capital.
