In an exciting update for music lovers, Blankets & Wine has rescheduled its July edition, now set to take place on Sunday, July 28. This change follows potential security threats that prompted the festival organizers to rethink their initial date of Sunday, July 7.
Muthoni the Drummer Queen, CEO of Blankets & Wine, explained that the coincidence with ‘The New Saba Saba’ theme and associated security concerns were key reasons for the postponement. Additionally, the Shujaaz Memorial Concert, held on the same date at Uhuru Park, likely influenced the decision. This event drew thousands of Kenyan youth to the CBD, where they paid homage to innocent lives lost due to brutal state actions against peaceful protesters over the past three weeks.
Despite the change in date, the lineup remains as star-studded as ever. Fans can look forward to performances by the sensational Nikita Kering, the versatile Sanaipei Tande, and the soulful Bensoul. These artists, known for their captivating performances and unique musical styles, promise to deliver an unforgettable experience.
Blankets & Wine, a festival celebrated for its eclectic mix of music, food, and culture, continues to be a highlight on Nairobi’s social calendar. The rescheduled event on July 28 aims to offer attendees a safe and enjoyable environment to relax, dance, and create lasting memories.
The organizers have assured ticket holders that their tickets will remain valid for the new date. For those who had planned to attend on July 7, the wait promises to be worthwhile with the promise of a secure and vibrant festival atmosphere.
As the new date approaches, fans are encouraged to stay updated through Blankets & Wine’s official social media channels for any further announcements. This adjustment underscores the festival’s commitment to the safety and well-being of its patrons while ensuring that the spirit of celebration and music lives on.
