Friend or Foe? Spice Diana Talks About Her Upcoming Concert Clash with Catherine Kusasira

In what seems to be the latest trend sweeping Uganda’s music scene, the calendar clash of big-name concerts is fast becoming a hot topic.

Artistes are finding themselves in direct competition, battling for fans on the same day.

Recently, we saw Gravity Omutujju and Mikie Wine go head-to-head, as well as Acidic Vokoz and Mudra D Viral.

The debate around this trend is heating up, with some defending it by arguing that every artiste has their loyal fans. However, others believe it stirs unnecessary tension and affects the overall success of the events.

The newest duel in this concert battleground is between none other than Spice Diana and Catherine Kusasira. Both singers are scheduled to hold their concerts on the same day in January 2025.

Spice Diana recently opened up about her thoughts on this growing phenomenon.

She expressed frustration, particularly because her upcoming clash is not just with another artiste, but with someone she considers like a mother.

Kusasira, a respected figure in the music industry, holds a special place in Spice Diana’s heart, making this clash more than just a professional matter for her.

Spice Diana shared that she would have loved to perform at Kusasira’s event and even have her grace the stage at her own concert. However, things are not going as she had hoped.

While some might think these concert clashes are mere accidents, she hinted at the possibility that these overlapping dates are not always innocent coincidences.

Promoters and even artistes sometimes intentionally schedule events to create buzz and generate a sense of competition. But what happens when the competition feels more personal than professional?

When Spice Diana learned about Kusasira’s plans for the same day, she took the high road and reached out to her to explain the situation.

Catherine, to her surprise, claimed she had no knowledge of Spice Diana’s concert being planned for that date.

Despite the conversation and Kusasira’s assurance that she would look into the matter, she decided to stick with her original plans, much to Spice Diana’s disappointment.

Still, Spice Diana acknowledged that while fans will choose whom they want to support, the trend of overlapping concerts can create unnecessary rivalries.

According to her, the music industry should be about uplifting each other rather than creating friction.

Yet, the harsh reality is that booking concerts on the same date has become a strategy for staying relevant and stirring up interest, even if it risks causing bad blood between artistes.

In the end, Spice Diana accepted the reality with grace, knowing she cannot force a change but hoping the trend does not fuel unnecessary tensions.

Fans will surely be on the edge of their seats, watching how this concert clash plays out. Will it become a battle of loyalty, or will both events manage to shine despite the overlap? Only time will tell.
