Kampala is gearing up for one of the biggest music events of the year as South African rap sensation Nasty C brings his highly anticipated Ivyson Tour to Uganda on November 7, 2025. The concert will take place at Motiv in Bugolobi, serving as the grand finale of the second edition of the Aumex Conference, Uganda’s flagship music business gathering.
Organized by Talent Africa Group in collaboration with Aumex, the Ivyson Tour Kampala edition promises to be more than just a concert. It will blend entertainment, networking, and industry empowerment, marking a defining moment for Uganda’s growing creative sector. The Aumex Conference, running from November 6 to 8, aims to equip artists, producers, and other industry professionals with practical tools and insights to help them thrive in an increasingly competitive global market. It will feature masterclasses, workshops, and showcases that connect Ugandan talent with international music executives from Mavin Records, Warner Music Group, Virgin Music, and several other globally recognized institutions.
Throughout the conference, participants will engage in thought-provoking discussions and hands-on sessions designed to strengthen Uganda’s position within Africa’s creative economy. The programme will also include exclusive networking opportunities with record labels, promoters, and publishers, alongside a Women in Music brunch and panel discussion that will spotlight the role of women in shaping the continent’s music industry and push for greater inclusion and representation.
At the heart of the conference lies the Ivyson Tour, an initiative that combines fan participation with live performance. Powered by TOORLY, a fan-driven touring platform, this year’s Ivyson Tour allows fans across Africa to bring Nasty C to their cities through collective support. Uganda has already advanced to Round 3 of the campaign, meaning Kampala is now in contention to officially host the rapper. To secure the stop, fans are encouraged to pre-order tickets, with a minimum of 200 pre-orders required to unlock the show. Organizers have assured that all pre-orders will be fully refunded if the target is not reached, ensuring that fans face no financial risk.
In a statement, Nasty C expressed his excitement about the fan-powered approach, saying, “Each time I announce a tour, the comment section is full of fans wanting the tour in their city and feeling left out. This time, I wanted to give all cities the chance to bring the tour to them. Fans requested Kampala, and now let’s unlock it!”
Tickets are available exclusively through TOORLY at toorly.com/campaign/ivyson-tour-kampala. General admission is priced at 30,000 UGX, while Ivyson Tickets go for 60,000 UGX and include a signed tour poster and a 20 percent discount on merchandise. For die-hard fans seeking an exclusive experience, Ivyson Max Tickets are available for 180,000 UGX, offering a meet-and-greet with Nasty C, 20 percent off merchandise, and access to the Ivyson Army HQ.

The Ivyson Tour at Aumex is expected to bring together music lovers, industry professionals, and creatives for an unforgettable night of rhythm, culture, and connection. Beyond the entertainment, it underscores Uganda’s rising influence in Africa’s creative economy and the growing recognition of music as both an art form and a viable industry. As the continent continues to bridge talent and opportunity, Kampala’s hosting of Nasty C and the Aumex Conference positions Uganda at the center of that transformation—proof that the nation’s creative pulse is stronger than ever.
