This Sunday, 15th September 2023, Sheebah Karungi and Cindy Sanyu will be sorting out their musical differences in a battle scheduled to take place at Kololo Independence Grounds.

The show expected to kick off from 8 pm to midnight
20 minutes per set
The first performer to be decided by a coin toss
Barriers separating artists and fans
Judges to decide points at the battle
While appearing on NBS TV After 5, Kasuku said that fashion, stage presence, vocal range, live band ability, and timekeeping among several other factors will be considered in awarding the points.
Both artists have been warned against hurling insults at each other during the battle. He claims that it will result in a points deduction.
Other causes of point deduction
Apart from exchanging insults and name-calling, Sheebah and Cindy Sanyu will lose points for bad timekeeping. An artist is not expected to perform beyond the stipulated 20 minutes of a set.
They are also not allowed to perform each other’s songs but can jam to any other song outside their competitor’s catalog.
Supporting artists
Only those artists who have collaborations with the two artists are allowed to step on the stage to perform alongside the respective artists.
Results from the battle will be released after the battle
Unlike previous music battles, Kasuku notes that this time, results from the battle will be publicly revealed after the battle for the fans to know who, according to the set rules, came out as the victor.
