As Rwanda gears up for Tour du Rwanda 2026, organisers are set to enhance the race experience with the return of the Tour du Rwanda Festival — a music-powered side attraction now in its fourth edition.

Scheduled from February 22 to March 1, the eight-day cycling race will once again traverse multiple routes across the country.

By blending sport with live entertainment, the festival aims to give cycling enthusiasts a vibrant evening experience after each stage of the race.

This year’s lineup features a diverse mix of local stars, including Bushali, Bwiza, Kenny Sol, Kivumbi King, DJ Marnaud, Symphony Band and Ruti Joel. The performers were unveiled during a press conference held on February 17.

The concerts will be staged in Huye, Rubavu and Musanze, before culminating in Kigali on the final day of the Tour du Rwanda.
