The Tusker Oktobafest 2025 tour continued its vibrant celebration of Kenyan beer, music, and culture this past weekend with unforgettable events in Mombasa and Nanyuki. The festival now heads to Kisumu for its highly anticipated grand finale on Saturday, November 8 at Atella Beach Resort.
In Mombasa, the iconic New Big Tree in Bamburi came alive as thousands turned up for a night of music, dance, and beer experiences. Rap powerhouse Khaligraph Jones headlined the event alongside Ndovu Kuu, Tipsy Gee, and Mombasa’s own Honest Blind Boy, supported by DJs Benitez, Mostwanted, Issa Platinum, DJ Daffy, and crowd favourite MC Gogo.
Festival goers enjoyed local cuisine, interactive brand activations, and beachside performances, highlighted by a surprise birthday celebration for MC Gogo and Khaligraph Jones’ high energy set that had the crowd chanting along.
Meanwhile, in Nanyuki, fans gathered at Stingers Lounge for a night of electrifying performances featuring Toxic Lyrikali, Ayrosh, Wanjine, and Njerae, with DJs Abby, Deewiz, Tibz, Grauchi, Kaneda, and resident DJ Doubleblack keeping the energy high.
