Tanzanian musician Diamond Platnumz is set to host an exclusive event at the Kampala Marriott Hotel on October 29, 2026, where he will reunite with Rwandan artist The Ben. The event, organized by Comedy Store, will start at 2 pm and feature a main course at 3 pm. Tickets for the event range from 5 million Ugandan shillings (approximately 1.8 million Rwandan francs). The event will also feature other artists, including Myko Ouma, Sheilah Gashumba, and DJ Lil Stunner.
The reunion between Diamond and The Ben is significant, as it marks a continuation of their long-standing friendship and collaboration. The two artists have been friends for years, and their bond has been strengthened through their music. One of their most notable collaborations is the song "Why," which has become a hit in East Africa. Diamond has often expressed his admiration for the song and has performed it at various concerts, even when The Ben is not present.
The history between Diamond and The Ben dates back to 2025 when they traveled together on the same flight to Uganda for a concert. This incident showcased their close relationship, which goes beyond just being musicians who have collaborated on a song. They have since appeared together at various concerts and events in different countries, including Uganda, where they performed at the "Coffee Marathon UG" concert on March 25, 2025.
The "Coffee Marathon UG" concert, held in Kampala, Uganda, featured other notable artists such as Eddy Kenzo and Bebe Cool. Diamond and The Ben were received with great fanfare, and their appearance sparked debate among Ugandan music fans about the treatment of local artists compared to international ones. Despite this, the event highlighted the popularity of Diamond and The Ben in the Ugandan music scene.
The upcoming event in Uganda will not be a traditional concert but rather an opportunity for Diamond to meet and interact with his fans. The event will feature a gathering of fans from Tanzania, Rwanda, and Uganda, showcasing the power of music to bring people together. For Diamond, this event is a chance to further strengthen his bond with his fans in Uganda and the wider East African region.
The reunion between Diamond and The Ben also marks a significant moment for The Ben, who will have the opportunity to showcase his talent to a wider audience in East Africa. Despite missing out on a previous opportunity to perform with Diamond in Kigali, Rwanda, The Ben is now set to share the stage with him in Uganda. Their collaboration on the song "Why" has already helped to increase their popularity in each other's countries.
The event on October 29, 2026, will be a celebration of music and friendship, bringing together fans from across East Africa. With Diamond and The Ben set to reunite, music lovers are eagerly anticipating an unforgettable experience.
