Ugandan singer Bebe Cool is questioning whether the massive crowds at Uganda’s biggest concerts are actually translating into serious profits for the artists behind them. The veteran musician says packed venues, particularly at Kololo Airstrip, can create the appearance of major financial success while the enormous costs of staging such events eat heavily into the money collected from ticket sales. Bebe Cool used a simple example to illustrate his point: an artist attracting 20,000 people who each pay Shs20,000 would bring in about Shs400 million at the gate. But after spending hundreds of millions on venue hire, advertising, production and…
