Grammy-winning Nigerian sensation Tems is set to grace the stage at Blankets & Wine on September 28, 2025. This marks her highly anticipated return to Kenya after a two-year absence. Her last scheduled performance here, back in October 2022, was unfortunately cancelled, leaving many fans disappointed. But this year, it's official: she's headlining Nairobi's iconic music, arts, and lifestyle festival!

Event organisers broke the exciting news via X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday evening, declaring:

"Get ready for an unforgettable time on September 28th as we bring together an electrifying lineup featuring the sensational talents."

This will be Tems' very first performance in Kenya since her incredible international breakthrough. It comes hot on the heels of her historic appearance at the FIFA Club World Cup Final halftime show in New Jersey earlier this month.

That performance earned her widespread praise, solidifying her status as a global star.

A Pan-African Celebration

Joining Tems on stage will be a strong lineup of East African talent, making this year's Blankets & Wine one of the most exciting editions yet:

Willis Chimano: A member of the popular group Sauti Sol, Chimano is known for his bold fashion sense and unique vocals. Expect an edgy, genre-blending performance.
