Reunited Rwandan music group Urban Boyz will extend their comeback run to Kigali, with the trio set to headline “Replay Volume One” at Zaria Court’s on Saturday, August 8. The concert will be held as part of the first anniversary celebrations for one of the leading entertainment and recreational venues located in Kigali Sports City. The show comes a week after the group’s planned reunion performance at the Rubavu leg of MTN Iwacu Muzika Festival on August 1, where they are set to share the stage for the first time since splitting in 2019. Speaking on their upcoming performance in Kigali, Safi Madiba said, “we want to perform for our fans wherever they are. It is an opportunity that Zaria Court reached out to us, giving us another chance to perform for our fans in Kigali.” ALSO READ: Eight years later, Urban Boyz reunite Urban Boyz’s reunion followed months of efforts by group member Humble Jizzo to bring Safi and Nizzo back together. Their strained relationship was a major factor in the group’s split, which was followed by a series of public fallouts between the former bandmates. Safi, who relocated to Canada, met Jizzo in Kenya before the pair travelled to Kigali on July 22, where they were welcomed by Nizzo at Kigali International Airport. Formed in 2008 in Huye District, Urban Boyz became one of Rwanda’s most successful music groups, earning several accolades, including the 2016 Primus Guma Guma Super Star title and multiple Salax Awards, including Artist of the Year, Best Group and Best Male Artist. Doors for the August 8 concert will open at 6 p.m., with tickets priced at Rwf 7,000 for General Access and Rwf 15,000 for the Golden Circle.
