Jamaican dancehall star Spice, born Grace Latoya Hamilton, is preparing for her long awaited first performance in Uganda. The self proclaimed Queen of Dancehall is now confirmed to perform on May 9, 2026, promising fans a night filled with high energy music, bold lyrics, and her trademark stage presence after an earlier postponement.
The show was initially scheduled for December 6, 2025 at Lugogo Cricket Oval in Kampala. The event had generated major excitement, with plans for Spice to share the stage with some of Uganda’s biggest female performers, including Sheebah Karungi, Winnie Nwagi, and Cindy Sanyu. Anticipation grew quickly among party lovers and dancehall fans eager to witness her live performance.
However, only days before the concert, Spice announced she would not be able to perform, sharing the news through her social media platforms. The cancellation disappointed many fans, but organizers urged the public to remain calm, explaining that the postponement resulted from circumstances beyond their control. Some reports pointed to contractual disagreements with the promoter. They also assured fans that the artist would still perform in Uganda, with a new date to be arranged after the country’s general elections to allow better planning and attendance.
By February 2026, promoters including Safari Beats UG confirmed the new date as May 9, 2026. Promotional artwork featuring Spice has since circulated widely online, reigniting excitement across social media and entertainment platforms. Several local entertainment outlets have described the upcoming show as a second opportunity for Ugandan fans to finally experience the dancehall icon live.
Important details such as the venue, ticket pricing, and supporting acts have not yet been announced. Organizers are expected to release more information soon, and fans are encouraged to follow official communication channels for updates.
Spice continues to enjoy global popularity due to her confident persona, hit songs, and commanding performances. Her upcoming appearance in Uganda is expected to be a major moment for the East African entertainment scene, blending Caribbean dancehall energy with local musical culture. Fans can now mark their calendars for May 9, 2026 as anticipation builds for what promises to be an unforgettable night.
