The event, scheduled for May 29, 2026, in Kigali, is being organized by Groove Kigali in partnership with Intore Entertainment.
The concert is sponsored by SKOL Brewery Ltd through its SKOL Malt brand, alongside Bank of Kigali. The announcement of Shallipopi’s upcoming performance was made on April 3, 2026, at La Noche nightclub in Kigali.
Shallipopi is among the fast-rising African artists gaining popularity across the continent, with hit songs like “Laho” enjoying strong airplay in several countries, including Rwanda.
The partnership between SKOL and Bank of Kigali aims to boost the entertainment industry by supporting large-scale events. SKOL Malt, in particular, has been actively involved in Rwanda’s entertainment scene, previously sponsoring concerts featuring international stars such as Davido and Shenseea.
In the lead-up to the concert, a series of promotional events dubbed “Shallipopin’ Ahanad” will take place across different parts of Kigali throughout May 2026, helping to build excitement around the show and promote the SKOL Malt brand.
For Bank of Kigali, the concert is part of its broader BK@60 campaign marking 60 years of service in Rwanda’s financial sector. The event will also serve as a platform to engage young people on financial services and innovation-driven economic growth.
During the preparations and on the day of the concert, the bank will facilitate seamless payments through its digital platforms, including BK Pay and other card-based payment systems.
Details regarding the exact venue and ticket sales are expected to be announced in the coming days.
