The intimate yet high-energy night began at exactly 9:00 PM with a fiery opening set from the local duo Double Black, who successfully set the tone for what would unfold into an unforgettable live experience.
At 10:00 PM, Elijah Kitaka took to the stage amid roaring cheers, joining his live band for a two-hour non-stop performance that took fans on an emotional, sonic, and visual journey.

The night soared to another level when Kenya’s Mr. Tee made a surprise appearance, joining Elijah on stage to perform their collaborative hit Panda Kitanda. The cross-border performance lit up the venue and underscored Kitaka’s growing regional impact.
“Performing to a sold-out crowd, with people singing every lyric and feeling every note—it was a dream,” Elijah shared after the show. “And doing it live, with my band Double Black, in my own skin and style—that’s the real magic.”
