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.

Guests and revellers at the event had surely packed along their wild side as it was clear that the few raindrops could not stop their partying as many sang and danced to their hearts’ content, kicking off their shoes while grooving in tune like never before.

“As always, it is a pleasure bringing the Tusker Lite Neon experience to our upcountry consumers in a fun and exciting way. This edition has definitely brought us closer to our Gulu fans too and we cannot wait to do this once again,” said Kelvin Gumisiriza, Tusker Lite Brand Rep.
