The last time Ya Levis touched down in Uganda, it wasn’t just a concert — it was a full-blown emotional takeover.
Phones were raised. Voices were lost. Hearts were stolen.
And now, the Congolese heartthrob is officially coming back.
After leaving Kampala buzzing in 2024, Ya Levis (real name Prince Nemiala) is set to return to Uganda on February 14, 2026, for a special Valentine’s Day performance that already has fans — especially women — counting down the days.
The highly anticipated event, dubbed “Lovers Sesh,” will take place at Mestil Hotel in Kampala, promising what organizers are calling the ultimate Valentine’s experience — romance, live music, intimacy, and pure R&B energy.
If history is any indication, Kampala is about to witness another unforgettable night.
A Return Fans Have Been Begging For
When Ya Levis last performed in Uganda in August 2024, revellers didn’t just enjoy the show — they made a pact.
If he ever returned, they’d show up again.
And judging by the reaction online since the Valentine’s Day announcement dropped, that promise is about to be kept.
His previous performance at Kampala Serena Hotel quickly became one of the most talked-about concerts of the year, with clips circulating across social media showing fans — particularly women — completely losing themselves in the moment.
From sing-alongs to emotional screams, the night cemented Ya Levis as one of the most adored R&B acts to ever grace a Ugandan stage.
“The Girls Were on a Mission” — Prim Asiimwe Reacts
Perhaps no one summed up the 2024 chaos better than renowned media personality Prim Asiimwe, whose reaction after the show went viral for its honesty and humor.
“Thank you for embarrassing the entire country. I had never seen girls too thirsty for one man,” Prim said at the time.
“The girls were on a mission; you could clearly see that they were the ones throwing themselves onto Ya Levis. He was really generous.”
The comment sparked laughter, debate, and agreement online — but one thing was clear:
Ya Levis had Uganda in a chokehold.
From fans rushing the stage to emotional moments where he locked eyes with audience members mid-performance, the concert felt less like a typical show and more like an intimate lovers’ gathering.
