The musical fete was courtesy of uganda telecom who lined up artistes like Cindy, Grace Nakimera, Jose Chameleone & Leone Island, Bebe Cool, GNL Zamba and Mowzey Radio & Weasel. It was a free-for-all affair, and despite the earlier downpour, campus students braved the cold weather and muddy pitch, as they flocked the Makerere Sports Grounds for free entertainment that went on till about 1a.m.
