The festival’s lineup usually spans various genres, including Afrobeat, R&B, hip-hop, and Afro-fusion, ensuring there’s something for every music enthusiast.
Past editions have featured performances from local heavyweights like Nyashinski, Nviiri the Storyteller, Bensoul, and comedy acts such as Crazy Kennar.
Speaking about what to expect from future shows, the band said, “Each performance will be infused with a sense of deep love and gratitude as the ensemble delivers their timeless hits and fan favourites that have left an indelible mark on our collective memories”.
In 2023, Sol Fest drew over 1500 attendees.
All four members, Bien, Polycarp, Savara, and Chimano, are expected to be present even as they continue to pursue solo projects. Sol Fest is one of the main events the band reunites on stage to give their fans an unforgettable show.
Beyond the music, Sol Fest offers fans an opportunity to engage with art installations, fashion pop-ups, and food experiences that highlight Nairobi’s creativity and innovation.
The event is also a platform for the Sol Generation label artists to showcase their new projects alongside their mentors, Sauti Sol.
