Legendary Congolese gospel music group Makoma is set to make a long-awaited return to Uganda, thrilling fans with a live concert in Kampala after 25 years away.
The performance is part of celebrations marking the 40th anniversary of New Vision, one of Uganda’s leading media groups.
The highly anticipated event will take place on March 6, 2026, at the Kololo Independence Grounds, bringing Makoma’s energetic blend of gospel, soul, and contemporary Christian music back to a city where they once captivated audiences.
Organisers say the concert will be more than just a show — it’s positioned as a reunion and celebration for longtime fans who grew up with Makoma’s uplifting sound, as well as a vibrant highlight of New Vision’s milestone year. Performers are expected to deliver high-energy gospel performances, timeless hits, and moments of praise and worship.
