Musician John Blaq was the star performer as the NSSF KAVC International tournament opened on Friday at Lugogo Hockey grounds.
The singer, who stepped on stage shortly after the participating teams were officially unveiled, was welcomed with wild cheers from the crowd that was eagerly awaiting his performance. He did not disappoint as he had the audience dancing and singing along as he performed his popular songs including “Obubadi”, “Makanika” and “Do Dat” among others.
His performance did not last long, leaving the stage to DJ Shiru. Shiru took over as he did his magic on the turntables. He carried on the party and kept the crowd on their feet dancing till midnight.
