Every year UP Nairobi throw a birthday bash to celebrate the arts, music and creative culture that is the backbone of our magazine. Every year we bring the content of UP Nairobi alive through a main stage, art installations, film screening and cool chillout areas with awesome food. The Railway Museum is the perfect retro-industrial backdrop for one of the craziest parties of the year.
The full line-up is announced and features an amazing live MC talent from Copenhagen and a UP Live house band, called “The Railroad Funk Allstars” starring Makadem.
It all starts with the “Bring the Sun Down Session” with a happy hour and web series screening from the Nest (5:30 to 7:30 p.m.), when all drinks are buy one, get one free.
At 8:00 p.m. the Afro Disco set starts with some incredible live acts. Get your disco moves going on the dance floor or explore the UP LIVE scene with a shisha tent by Tribe hotel, and the Silent Disco at the Red Light district.
At midnight the rave begins, with top Kenyan DJs and our international star headliners: ALO WALA.
UP LIVE 5 is going to be the kind of party you will never forget, a creative collaboration fusing the freshest artists from across Kenya and the world to Nairobi’s Funkadelic Railroad! Live it UP and celebrate!
