How Walker Town Festival went down – Day One & Two [Videos]

East Africa Breweries Limited (EABL) has issued a public apology on Day Two of the Walker Town Festival after the event faced unforeseen disruptions on Sunday.

In an official statement seen by Famous Media, EABL has promised to issue a 100% refund to revelers who bought tickets for day two of the festival.

“We sincerely apologize to all our valued festival-goers, suppliers, artists, and stakeholders for the disruptions experienced during day two of the WalkerTown festival,” the statement said.

The Organizers of the concert say the technical challenges, particularly due to the heavy rain and other conditions, affected the event’s sound, thus causing significant delays, which resulted in the delayed performance by Ms. Lauryn Hill and, regrettably, the cancellation of Johnnie Walker’s brand partner Nyashinski’s performance.

“Despite our best efforts, unforeseen technical challenges—particularly due to the rain and other conditions—affected our sound system, causing significant delays. This resulted in the delayed performance by Miss Lauryn Hill and, regrettably, the cancellation of our brand partner Nyashinski’s performance, which deeply impacted the overall festival experience.

According to the statement, ticket refunds will be handled in the next two weeks.

“In light of these circumstances, we will be issuing a 100% refund of the cash value each ticket holder spent to acquire their ticket for Day Two of the Walker Town 2024 Festival. Refunds will be processed within the next two weeks. This is a reflection of our commitment to fairness and respect for the trust you placed in us,” EABL has said in a statement.

“Once again, we extend our apologies to all artistes and partners whose performances were impacted and to our loyal consumers who came out to enjoy this festival. We are committed to learning from these challenges.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. Let’s #KeepWalking,”

Day Two

Eight-time Grammy Award-winning music icon, Lauryn Hill, was healding day two alongside Kenya’s Nyashinski before a heavy downpour ruined the day.

Ms Hill showed up on stage at 3:00 am to deliver an epic performance to revelers who had braced the Kasarani cold to witness her performance.

Day One

Day one of the Walker Town Festival was a huge success. It was headlined by Kenya’s Bien-Aime Baraza, the UK’s Arrdee, and Nigeria’s Rema.

Others who performed on day one were; Tipsy Gee, Maanday Kabaya, Wadagliz, Buruklyn Boyz, Harry Craze, and FatherMoh.

During his set, Sauti Sol’s Bien brought Bensoul as they performed their tuned ‘Extra Pressure’ together’.

Nigeria’s Rema had three surprise acts during his set after bringing out his fellow signee Bayanni and another new bee from Mavin Records.

Wadagliz entertained the crowd with their viral hit Anguka Nayo, while  Buruklyn Boyz delivered an epic performance that featured most of their hit songs.

Female rapper Maanday Kabaya also had a good time on stage with her dancers who fully understood the assignment.
