Uganda’s entertainment culture has long thrived on vibrant nightlife, iconic concerts, and communal celebration.
But in recent months, a noticeable shift has taken place–one that marries the electric spirit of Ugandan events with seamless digital access. At the heart of this movement is Next Ticket, a platform quietly reshaping how Ugandans plan, book, and show up for the moments that matter.
Gone are the days of long queues and last-minute scrambles for tickets. With a few taps on a phone or clicks on a laptop, fans can now secure entry to their favourite concerts, festivals, and sports showdowns. From high-energy music events like A One Night Only with Elijah Kitaka to curated VIP experiences such as Party With Casmir, Next Ticket has stepped into the spotlight as a trusted gateway to Uganda’s social calendar.
The platform’s clean layout, easy login options, and mobile-first design offer users a frictionless experience. Whether you’re looking for the next afro-fusion concert or trying to catch a live rugby match, it’s all searchable and bookable in one place. Event pages list venues, times, and pricing–no guesswork, no hidden details.
But Next Ticket isn’t just a tool. It’s part of a larger movement under the Next Media Uganda umbrella. Working closely with platforms like NBS Music, Afro Mobile, and Next Radio, the brand taps into an existing audience of culture enthusiasts, partygoers, and trendsetters. Their collaborative strategy gives events wider visibility and audiences a smoother path from discovery to attendance.
“We’re not just selling tickets–we’re building access to lifestyle experiences people genuinely care about,” says Victor Akatwijuka, Brand Manager at Next Media.
“Next Ticket was built to connect fans with the moments they don’t want to miss,” he added.
Elijah Kitaka’s One Night Only concert served as a strong signal of this shift. Held at UMA Show Grounds, the event offered more than live music. It delivered precision sound, lighting, and a well-curated lineup in partnership with Next Ticket. The turnout, energy, and digital buzz around the show proved what’s possible when tech meets curation.
Next Ticket’s presence goes beyond Kampala. In December last year, Next Ticket took Ugandan fans beyond borders for Chris Brown’s ‘Under The Influence’ Tour. This wasn’t just a concert trip–it was a complete lifestyle package that redefined the industry.
Next ticket’s growing catalogue of listings shows a commitment to supporting not only headline international acts but also grassroots organisers. And with new verticals like flights showing up on the platform, it’s clear that convenience is not just a tagline–it’s a direction.
For event lovers, this evolution is both timely and welcome. Uganda’s party scene is alive and well. It’s just more accessible now. And with Next Ticket leading the charge, your next unforgettable night out may be just a click away.
