Dubbed the ‘Camping Edition,’ the neon-speckled Tusker Lite event was headlined by BigTril who created quite a storm on Saturday night as he owned the stage with many of his popular songs like, ‘Giddem’, ‘No Yawa’, ‘Sibalaba’ with the highlight being his trendy song ‘Parte after Parte.’

“I dare you to take it out.”
Cheers to Andrew Kamurasi and friends.

Many could not hide their excitement over the chance to party with the star as Gbara-spoken Emcee could be seen pulling a few revellers from out of the crowd to dance along with the man of the hour BigTril.
