The final regional stop of the Bell ObaFest tour in Arua set the perfect tempo for the much-anticipated grand finale slated for November 15, 2025, at Millennium Grounds in Kampala.
Held on Saturday, November 9, at Capital One Lounge, the West Nile edition of Bell ObaFest delivered a night bursting with music, flavour, and pure excitement. Not even a light drizzle could cool the enthusiasm of Arua’s famously vibrant nightlife lovers, who turned up in large numbers for a full sensory experience.
Revellers enjoyed a mix of great music, sizzling nyama choma, and the signature Bell Citrus and Bell Honey drinks that kept the night refreshing. The electric atmosphere was further amplified by live football screenings, with fans passionately cheering on their teams between performances.
Music was at the heart of the celebration. Free Boy, making a much-awaited return to the stage, sent the crowd into a frenzy with his hit tracks Touch Me Slow, Sabala, and Kwata Essimu, his popular collaboration with Winnie Nwagi.
His performance was both nostalgic and energising, rekindling memories among fans who have long missed his live shows. The night also featured fiery sets from Eddy Topsy, King Weeda, and D’Wyne Gabana, each adding their unique rhythm to the mix.
Meanwhile, Black Harmony, the beloved West Nile duo, wrapped the night in cultural pride with their soulful folk-rap melodies that perfectly reflected the region’s creative spirit.
