The highly anticipated SolFest event by popular afro-pop band Sauti Sol has had a change of venue, much to the delight of fans.
In a press release on Monday evening, the SolFest management said the event, slated for December 17, 2022, will no longer be held at the original venue of Fox Drive-In, Thika road and will instead be hosted at the Kenyatta International Convention Center (KICC).
The organizers cited security concerns as the reason for the venue change of the second edition of the event.
“Following consultation with our security service providers, who have also consulted with various security agencies, it was established that the areas surrounding the previous location of choice for SolFest (Fox Drive-In, Thika Road), has had a significant increase in criminal activity over the recent months,” read a statement from SolFest management.
The award-winning boyband said the choice of KICC was in keeping with their security standards and ensuring that the location is fit for all stakeholders.
The group who are expected to release their new album in 2023, just dropped their new single titled ‘Lil Mama’.
