SOLFEST 2025: Where rhythm meets soul and December comes alive

“Own Your Light.” It’s a call to show up boldly, to shine without apology, and to honor the energy you bring to the world.
This December, the sun won’t be the only thing heating up the city.
From the 18th to the 20th of December 2025, SOLFEST returns — reimagined, re-energized, and ready to ignite your senses in a way only music can.
Set against the golden backdrop of Kenya’s December warmth, SOLFEST 2025 is more than a festival — it’s an experience, a cultural explosion, and a celebration of African artistry in its most vibrant form.
For three soul-stirring days, festivalgoers will be transported into a world where rhythm reigns and every heartbeat syncs to the pulse of Afrobeat, R&B, soul, amapiano, and hip-hop.
The stage will come alive with electrifying performances by Sol Generation’s finest, as well as a stellar lineup of international and homegrown talents.
Think fire vocals, live bands, surprise collabs, and DJ sets that’ll carry you from sundown to sunrise.
But SOLFEST is more than just music — it’s a mood.
From curated art installations and wellness lounges to food courts bursting with flavors from across the continent, every corner of the festival grounds will be designed to awaken, nourish, and celebrate the senses.
Whether you're dancing barefoot in the grass, vibing under fairy-lit trees, or capturing sunset magic with friends, every moment at SOLFEST will be crafted to create memories you’ll carry well into the new year.
This year’s theme? "Own Your Light." It’s a call to show up boldly, to shine without apology, and to honor the energy you bring to the world.
Whether you're a dreamer, a creator, a lover of good vibes, or just someone in need of a beautiful escape, SOLFEST 2025 is your invitation to come alive.
