Although the artist had originally been expected to arrive in Dubai a day earlier, his travel plans shifted due to prior commitments in Kigali. The Ben had promised the management of Zacu Entertainment that he would attend the prestigious Zacu Gala, an annual celebration that took place on the night of December 5, 2025. The event brought together top figures from Rwanda’s entertainment industry, and The Ben was one of its most anticipated guests.

Despite a tight schedule and the gala running later into the night than expected, The Ben boarded a flight immediately afterward, ensuring he would make it to Dubai in time for the final rehearsals. Upon landing, he was escorted directly to his hotel to rest briefly before beginning preparations for the show. Sources close to the team revealed that the artist is excited and fully ready to deliver an electrifying performance for the Rwandan community living and working in Dubai, as well as international fans who have shown overwhelming interest in the concert.

His Dubai performance marks one of the final major shows of his 2025 calendar. Right after the event, The Ben is expected to fly back to Kigali, where he will resume rehearsals for the highly anticipated “New Year Groove” concert, scheduled for January 1, 2026. This New Year celebration will see him share the stage with fellow Rwandan superstar Bruce Melodie, a collaboration that fans have been eagerly waiting for.

With momentum building around both his Dubai appearance and the upcoming New Year show, The Ben continues to solidify his place as one of East Africa’s most influential and celebrated artists.
