Ugandan Musicians Association (UMA) President Ykee Benda has opened up on his plans to stage a massive concert immediately artists are cleared to perform by the Ministry of Health.

 Ykee Benda's announcement comes after the Uganda National Cultural Centre (UNCC) issued a statement stating that concerts, bars and hangout joints were given a go ahead to operate on condition that they’ll be conducted in gazette open spaces from 7 am to 7 pm effective 19th, December, 2020.

The Mpaka Records boss took to his Twitter account announcing the concert which he hopes to charge a hefty price because of the many months he has not performed.

"I hope you saved up some money because the first concert after 9 months lockdown is 500K entrance fee. We are about to make history,” he said.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Health has issued a statement indicating that only cinemas are allowed to operate, while bars still remain closed and concerts banned.
