Organisers of the Kabula Festival have officially announced the dates for this year’s edition, confirming that the event will take place from 29 to 30 May at Chileka in Blantyre.
The announcement was made through a statement released by Kabula Diaries, the company responsible for planning and managing the festival, which has quickly grown into one of the anticipated entertainment events in the country.
According to the organisers, this year’s festival will mark the second time the Kabula Festival is being held in Malawi, following a successful inaugural edition that attracted wide attention from music lovers.
Kabula Diaries said preparations for this year’s event are being guided by experiences and lessons learned during last year’s festival, with the aim of improving both the quality and overall organisation of the show.
The organisers hinted that the upcoming edition will be “bigger and better,” suggesting enhanced performances, improved logistics, and a more memorable experience for attendees.
They also assured the public that more information, including the full list of performers and other festival activities, will be released gradually as the event date draws closer.
Last year’s Kabula Festival made headlines after bringing together a blend of local and international artists on one stage, creating a unique entertainment atmosphere.
Malawian music star Patience Namadingo was among the local artists who graced the event, earning praise for his performance and connection with fans.
The festival also featured celebrated South African artists, including Prince Kaybee and Sun-El Musician, whose participation helped elevate the profile of the event beyond Malawi’s borders.
With its return to Blantyre this May, the Kabula Festival is expected to once again celebrate music, culture, and creativity, while reinforcing Malawi’s growing presence on the regional entertainment scene.
