While many people wait for the weekend to fill clubs and entertainment joints, few have discovered the elite experiences that come with attending mid-week events. Unlike many Friday and weekend gigs, most if not all mid-week events are usually curated to cater to a specific audience thus offering a more wholesome and intimate entertainment experience.
In addition to their unique offerings, many mid-week events also provide a platform for upcoming and very niche entertainers to share their music with fans. Despite this, the contribution of such event organizers to the entire creative economy is often overlooked.
You may wonder about the financial implications of partying in the middle of the week, well, most entertainment joints have crazy offers that make it cheaper to go out before the weekend. Furthermore, most of them don’t charge entry fees, like all the ones listed below for you to consider:
Nakili Sessions
Timeless music is a full-time job at Nakili Sessions. The event is the brainchild of Musician Mutoriah and it happens at The Beer District, Westlands every Tuesday. Having already hosted acts such as Wanavokali, Muthaka, Ivano Bass, Kinoti, Serro, and Ochiko, we can’t wait to see who they bring next. RSVP to book a seat for the next show.
