• Most people end up disappointed when attending Live concerts especially when the crowd becomes too loud.

Sauti Sol will hold their final show as a group in November. The fan show will happen on 4th November. Die-hard fans attending will pay Ksh 3,500 while a behind-the-scenes pass at the same event will cost Ksh 6,500.

The VIP show will happen two days before the fans' show, on 2nd November 2023 which will cost Ksh 20,000.

The Ksh 20,000 package includes a 5-star banquet-style dinner, complimentary welcome drinks, an intimate performance by Sauti Sol, an exclusive Sauti Sol merchandise pack, and a meet and greet with the band.

Morning Kiss host Sheila Kwambox now says fans should allow the crowd 'to take in the group's' beautiful voices by letting them sing. She was less thrilled by fans who want to outdo the singers during such concerts.

"Let us respect each other. If I pay for a ticket I want to see the artist performing, I do not want to see you (fan) singing more than the artist.

If I get to the concert and hear someone singing I would want them to be quiet, I want to hear Bien singing. Otherwise, I want a refund."

In a statement in May, Sauti Sol announced that it will be taking a break from group projects.

"While the indefinite hiatus marks the end of a specific chapter, it also represents a new beginning for Sauti Sol. As close friends and business partners, the band members, Bien-Aime Baraza, Willis Chimano, Polycarp Otieno, and Savara Mudigi, are eager to explore fresh creative avenues and embark on personal endeavours."

They added that their friendship and shared vision will continue to be the driving force behind their future projects.

"Sauti Sol has been an incredible journey for us, both as musicians and friends."

"We are filled with gratitude for the love and support we have received throughout the years. While we take this hiatus to pursue our individual and collective passions, we remain committed to our friendship and our shared businesses. The bond between us is unbreakable, and we are excited for what the future holds," read the statement
