Sep 16, 2011
<b>Saturday 12.05am</b><br>And the show ends with "wa u wanna go" and there is clearly light between Kingston's performance and that of the local artists. He performed for one hour! MC Kazoora aptly christend him "Mune ne Mune ne". Wonder how Bebe Cool will feel about that?

Saturday 12.05am
And the show ends with "wa u wanna go" and there is light between Kingston's one hour performance and that of the local artists. MC Kazoora aptly christend him "Mune ne Mune ne". Wonder how Bebe Cool will feel about that?
Friday 11:40pm
"Beautiful gals" is followed by "911" and the atmosphere is electric as it approaches midnight.
11:30pm
Kingston takes a deserved break before he returns with "dirty love" and the crowd sings along like it has done all night.
11:17pm
Kingston is clad in black jeans, a white t-shirt and khaki west coat, none of which mirrors his superstar status - but well his music does. He hits Lugogo with his "face drop" and the crowd all sings along....
11:10pm
"Shortie I got take you there" is next as Kingston continues to rock. Earlier questions regarding who between Flavour and Kingston was curtain raising for the other have been put to rest. Kingston has got superior stage presence and it has nothing to do with size. He is energetic and involves the crowd.
11:00pm
Sean Kingston finally gets on stage with his monster track "me luv" and the entire crowd is off its feet but one Coco Finger stands motionless staring at the stage and wondering what it takes to catch up with Kingston?
10:45pm
Ashawo swings into gear. Everyone sings and dances along leaving everyone wondering who is watching who?
Mr.Flavor removes his white, long sleeved body-haging shirt revealing his well toned body to untold noise. But he leavs on his red pants - his sense of fashion leavs a lot to be desired unlike his performance
10.30pm
Lights off on stage finally as Mr Flavour or rather Ashawo shows up and like he didnt already have enough attention, he ask all beautiful ladies to put up their hands but most of them just stand amidst deafening cheers. He dedicates the next number to all the virgins in the house, leaving many in stitches.He goes on with Polokoko, whatever that means...
10.10pm
Kenya's P-Unit hit the floor with Kukyoto -Kuriya stirring up the crowd. Half way the song they ask Kenyans in the house to raise their hands and almost everyone's hands shoot up...
P-Unit's Kare gets everyone's attention even those that had showed casual interest in the Kenyan outfit's performance.
10:00pm
The National Anthem is played before the Goodlyfe crew hit the stage. Before them, Coco Finger brings down the house!
9:45pm
There was a suprise performance from DJ Aluda.
9:00pm
Comedian Patrick Idringi joins in on the action!
8:30pm
The curtain raisers have kick edoff with a performance from hip hop star Atlas n Gasuza. They were followed by Mighty Son on stage as the pre-produced mega mix goes on...renowned comedian Hannington Bugingo didnt miss out on the action too.
8.00pm
All kinds of dress styles can be seen here. Michael Ross and Toniks have made their entrance moments back.
7.00pm
Like the slogan at most parties these days, even at this concert "the kids are loved but not welcome." They cannot get past security here!
6.00pm
The security at the venue is massive. Police can be seen at every corner and straight. In fact a while ago the ratio of revelers to policemen must have been close to 1:1. Meanwhile musician Mun G just swaggered in, dishing out high fives.
5.00pm
Kingston and Ashawo fans have started trickling into Lugogo in pairs. The DJ is already earning his night's wages mixing today's great hits .... and some celebs have also made their way in like Judith Heard and crew!
4.00pm
It is just 4pm and music is already blaring loudly at Lugogo as fans streak in. Show is set to kick off at about 6pm with a pre-produced mega mix that can be called a curtain raiser non stop performance, with one musician jumping onto the stage as another hops off.
3.00pm
Sean Kingston has promised to put on a "crazy show full of energy" when he takes to the stage in a few hours time. He has just finished a press briefing at the Serena Hotel in Kampala.
