    A New Vibe Is Coming: TAG, Swangz Avenue and Explore Uganda Cooking Something Big for December

    Kampala: Something is brewing in Uganda’s entertainment and tourism scene, and Talent Africa Group (TAG), Swangz Avenue and Explore Uganda are inviting the public to guess what it could be.

    A mysterious new teaser poster carrying the words “Vibe Republic”, alongside the date 11 December 2026, has been released — but very little else has been revealed.

    No lineup. No venue announcement. No programme. Just a date, a name and one clear promise: East Africa’s Vibe Capital.

    The collaboration between TAG, Swangz Avenue and Explore Uganda has sparked curiosity around what the three leading names in entertainment, production and tourism could be preparing for the end of the year.

    Could it be a new music experience? A cultural celebration? A tourism-led entertainment concept? Or something entirely new?

    For now, the details remain deliberately under wraps.

    “Vibe Republic” is expected to bring together the worlds of music, culture, entertainment and destination experiences — but audiences will have to wait for the next reveal to find out exactly what is being created.

    One thing is certain: 11 December 2026 is a date to save. More details will be revealed soon.

    Juliana Kagwa: With Uganda officially Ebola-free, the Pearl of Africa is open to welcome the world, come & explore

    The world is looking at Uganda again. And this time, they are seeing it through the words of a Ugandan.

    With Uganda officially Ebola-free, the Pearl of Africa is open to welcome the world.

    There couldn’t be a better moment to shine light on the “Dear Uganda Campaign”, Uganda Tourism Board’s six months campaign on CNN, brought to life through the powerful narration of George The Poet.

    From the gentle giants of Bwindi, the thunderous Murchison Falls; the vast savanna plains to the snow-capped Rwenzori Mountains and the warmth of our people, this campaign captures the experiences that make Uganda unlike anywhere else. Why? Because people don’t choose destinations from maps or brochures, they choose the stories that move them.

    Through CNN, we are taking Uganda’s story to millions across the world. But before the world falls in love with the Pearl, let’s celebrate it ourselves.

    Watch the campaign. Share it proudly. And tell us: What story would you tell someone visiting Uganda for the first time? #ExploreUganda.
