Tukutane Entertainment

Nairobi-based concert and festival promoter founded by Khalani Sichangi, who also founded parent group KS Group Africa.

Based in
Nairobi, Kenya

Tukutane Entertainment Kenya Limited is a Nairobi-based concert and festival promoter. It stages large-scale live shows in Kenya, including a 2025 concert at Nairobi’s Nyayo Stadium that brought Nigerian artist Asake to the city, and has booked international acts such as Lady Zamar, Kranium and King Promise alongside Kenyan talent.

The company was founded by Khalani Sichangi, who also founded the wider KS Group Africa. In 2025, KS Group Africa announced it had “acquired” Tukutane, but the move folded the promoter into the same founder’s portfolio of businesses rather than transferring ownership to an outside party. Tukutane remains, in substance, independently founder-controlled.

Operating in a Kenyan live market with few promoters of comparable scale, Tukutane has also drawn scrutiny: a fan died during a stampede at one of its Nairobi concerts, prompting the company to issue a public apology over crowd-safety concerns.
