Johnnie Walker, a premium brand from East African Breweries PLC (EABL), has unveiled an exciting Performer’s Set for its highly anticipated Walker Town festival.
Music lovers and whisky enthusiasts are in for a treat as the event will feature soul sensation Lauryn Hill, an eight-time Grammy Award winner, who returns to Kenya after her unforgettable 2019 performance.
Lauryn Hill, renowned for her work with The Fugees and her iconic solo album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, will be the headline act on Day Two of the festival, blending her signature style of Hip-hop, R&B, and soul music.
Kenyan music superstar Nyashinski will also take the stage, promising to make this event one of the most engaging and unmissable experiences for all attendees.
The two-day festival, set for September 28th and 29th, 2024, at the Laureate Gardens, Moi International Sports Center Kasarani, will offer a unique combination of world-class performances and premium whisky experiences.
Josephine Katambo, Marketing Manager for Scotch & Reserve Portfolio at EABL, shared her excitement about the event:
“We are honoured to present the queen, Ms. Lauryn Hill, back in Kenya for such a prestigious event as Walker Town. She is a legendary music artist who perfectly embodies the Johnnie Walker brand spirit—bravery, forward-thinking, and quality.”
Walker Town will open with a star-studded Day One featuring Nigerian Afrobeats star REMA, Kenyan singer Bien, and rising British talent Adree. REMA is expected to thrill the crowd with hits like ‘Calm Down’ and ‘Dumebi’, bringing the essence of global Afrobeats music to Nairobi.
