Konshens Confirms Nairobi Concert After Leaving Kenyan Fans Guessing Over East Africa Tour

Jamaican dancehall star Konshens has confirmed that he will return to Nairobi in December 2026, ending speculation among Kenyan fans after the country was initially missing from his East African tour announcement.

The singer addressed the concerns in an Instagram video shared on Friday, November 6, after supporters questioned why Kenya had been left out of his December itinerary.

“Greetings to all my fans in Kenya. I know you saw that I’ll be coming to East Africa this December, and many of you wondered, why no Kenya? Don’t you love us? What’s going on?” he said.

Konshens explained that organisers had initially struggled to secure a suitable venue because of the short notice and the packed December entertainment calendar.

However, just as fans appeared to be preparing for disappointment, the artiste interrupted himself with a playful “Syke!” before revealing that Nairobi was actually part of his plans.

Konshens Sets December 18 Nairobi Concert

The Gal A Bubble hitmaker announced that he would perform at Sarit Expo Centre on Friday, December 18, 2026.

The concert, dubbed Dancehall Detention With Konshens: The High School Reunion, is designed to take fans back to the dancehall music that defined their younger years.

In a separate announcement, the Jamaican singer encouraged revellers to attend with their former schoolmates and dress in outfits representing their high schools or colleges.

“Nairobi, you’re on the detention list,” he wrote, urging fans to tag the friends they used to hang out with.

The event is being organised by Talent Africa Group, Homeboyz Radio and Homeboyz Kenya.

Early-bird tickets, branded First Bell, are available through HustleSasa and Tikiti.

Konshens’ Special Relationship With Kenyan Fans

Konshens, whose real name is Garfield Delano Spence, has built a strong following in Kenya through his music and repeated visits to the country.

He is known for dancehall hits including Gal A Bubble, Bruk Off Yuh Back, Turn Me On and Do Sumn.

His connection with Kenyan audiences has also featured in his public comments about performing outside Jamaica.

In a June 2025 interview with Billboard, the singer named Kenya as his favourite country to perform in outside his homeland, placing Uganda second.

He has previously defended his decision to perform in Kenya, explaining that his relationship with local fans goes beyond financial considerations.
