“The Blankets and Wine Kampala experience keeps getting bigger and better. We now look to add a twist to the fun-filled experience by providing our consumers with more acts and an extended performance time,” said Maureen Rutabingwa, the brand manager of Tusker Malt Lager.

“The line-up was composed of outstanding musicians in the emerging genres of Afro-based music and new up-coming Ugandan artists who are doing things differently and will most definitely put Uganda on the musical map. We appreciate our consumers and give them a chance to enjoy the rich African talent through live performances,” Rutabingwa added.
