The \u2018East Side\u2019 tour \u2014 spanning Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania \u2014 kicked off in Nairobi with several prominent artists on the Mavin roster including Magixx, Bayani, and Boy Spyce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking to Semafor, HustleSasa founder Peng Chen described the Mavin tour as a \u201cproof of concept\u201d meant to offer a blueprint for regional tours in Africa and, ultimately, a continental touring circuit. Their strategy entails building \u201can ecosystem of trust\u201d between promoters, labels, venues, and ticketing companies to support sustainable touring in Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said the biggest challenge faced by major artists looking to tour in Africa was in booking multiple stops, due to the fragmented nature of the touring ecosystem. \u201cThey (artists) are like, look, if I\u2019m coming all the way here&#8230; losing two days of travel just to do one show and then two days of travel back, it has to be worthwhile,\u201d he explained.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.semafor.com\/article\/04\/11\/2025\/nigerian-record-label-mavin-pushes-to-unlock-africas-touring-market#know-more\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"know-more\">KNOW MORE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mavin hopes to use regional tours to introduce newer acts to African audiences and lay the foundation for the emergence of new global superstars. Mavin was notably responsible for breaking one of Africa\u2019s top acts at the moment,&nbsp;<em>Calm Down<\/em>&nbsp;singer Rema.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recent major concerts in East Africa have highlighted the potential for touring on the continent for African stars. Nigeria\u2019s Burna Boy performed to a sold-out crowd of thousands in Nairobi\u2019s Uhuru Gardens in March while US singer John Legend also packed out the BK Arena in Kigali, Rwanda, in February for the Move Afrika concert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Touring in the region is held back by inadequate infrastructure, such as world-class arenas and stadiums. However, increased public investments in this area could be a boon to the sector. In March, Tanzania unveiled plans to build a $175 million arena. Kenya also announced the redevelopment of one of its largest convention centers, Bomas, to enable it to host more events including major concerts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"martins-view\">MARTIN\u2019S VIEW<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regular multi-city tours within the continent are welcome as they would have massive benefits for the larger music industry in Africa and local economies in general. Importantly, they would help attract investment towards local record labels and artist development programs as the financial potential becomes more apparent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It would also incentivize investment in infrastructure such as arenas, recording studios, and stadiums. The impact of major concerts on local economies \u2014 boosting sectors including transportation, accommodation, and food and beverages \u2014 would also stimulate much-needed economic growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Africa\u2019s large youth population \u2014 coupled with increasing technology adoption and growing incomes \u2014 offers ideal conditions for the long-term development of this sector.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Leading Nigerian record label Mavin is trying to unlock Africa\u2019s music-touring potential by developing
