A Facebook update by Standard Kenya described fans enduring hours of frustration and chaos at Nyayo Stadium tied to an Asake concert date.
Separate reports indicate the situation escalated into disorder outside the venue, with videos showing crowds pushing amid entry bottlenecks and confusion over access.
Such incidents are becoming a recurring Africa-tour risk: fast-rising demand meets weak perimeter control, inconsistent ticket scanning, and late gate operations—then the crowd does what crowds do.
TNX Africa wrote that “the event descended into devastation,” quoting chants like “Open the door…,” while Mpasho reported the show was “not without drama.”
Echotitbits take: This is bigger than one concert—African live events need professional crowd engineering. Watch for promoter statements, medical response transparency, and whether future shows adopt timed entry and stronger barriers.
