In what is already being hailed as the comeback of the decade, legendary Ugandan pop-turned-gospel star Grace Nakimera has officially announced her first major solo concert in over 15 years. The “Kawonawo” singer, who dominated the airwaves in the 2000s before shifting her focus to humanitarian work and gospel ministry, is set to reconnect with her fans in a high-octane live experience.
The concert, titled “Grace Nakimera,” is scheduled for 11th September 2026 at Kampala Serena Hotel coinciding with a period of renewed creative energy for the artist.
For many, Grace Nakimera remains the undisputed queen of Ugandan stage performance. Known for her elaborate choreography, high-fashion costumes, and hits like “Anfukula,” “Mpola Mpola,” and “Shalala,” her absence from the solo concert circuit left a void in the industry. This upcoming show promises to bridge the gap between her pop legacy and her current spiritual journey.
“It has been a long journey of growth, discovery, and service,” a source close to the singer’s camp revealed. “Grace is ready to tell her story through music once again. This isn’t just a concert; it’s a celebration of resilience and a testament to her enduring connection with the Ugandan people.”
The concert is expected to feature a blend of her classic secular hits that defined an era, alongside her powerful gospel discography, including the soul-stirring “Kabaka Kristo” and “Yansasira.” Insiders suggest that the production value will be unprecedented, featuring a full live band, contemporary dancers, and a visual narrative that tracks her evolution from a pop sensation to a philanthropist and minister.
Detailed ticket information and the official venue announcement are expected to follow in the coming months. One thing is certain: the return of Grace Nakimera is a milestone for Ugandan entertainment that no music lover will want to miss.
