The Throwback Gulu Edition

The Throwback – Gulu Edition is a one-day music event built around the songs people know by heart. It will bring together fans of

old-school Rhumba, Hip-Hop, Reggae, Soul, Luo music, R&B and Dancehall for an afternoon and evening of music, dancing and

catching up with friends. The aim is to create a good time for people who enjoy the music they grew up with, in a welcoming and

well-organised setting.

The first edition will take place on Saturday, 28 November 2026, starting at 2:00 PM at Bomah Hotel in Gulu. The event is being

developed as a Gulu experience, with the longer-term possibility of taking the concept to other cities in Uganda.

WHY WE ARE HOLDING IT

Gulu has an active social scene and an audience with an appreciation for music from different eras and backgrounds. The

Throwback is an opportunity to bring that audience together while creating business for local suppliers and work opportunities for

DJs, hospitality providers and other creatives. It also gives businesses a chance to meet potential customers in a relaxed social

setting.
