MellowFest isn’t just a festival; it’s a feeling.

Born in Kigali and powered by the visionary minds at Mellow Couch, MellowFest is where homegrown creativity steps into the spotlight. Launched in December 2023, the festival was created for the artists with real voices, real followings, and real stories, even if the big stages hadn’t found them yet. Think raw talent, alternative sounds, and a community that shows up for its own.

Every edition curates a vibe-heavy lineup of local artists across hip-hop, soul, and experimental sounds, blended with DJ sets, pop-up vendors, exclusive merch, and immersive moments that go way beyond the music. You don’t just listen; you discover, connect, and support the creatives shaping Rwanda’s next sonic era.

MellowFest is where art and audience meet eye-to-eye. Where new favorites are found, culture is exchanged, and community is the main headliner. Rooted in the grassroots but dreaming bigger every edition, MellowFest is building a future that stays true to its people and sounds even better together.
