“It’s true they [Fire Base Crew] have approached us, we have advised them to get clearance like any other event that we hold in the stadium. They [must] get clearance from police to hold such a concert… All events – football, the church, you know it very well, it’s clearance that is required…There are other activities on the day of the event and the person booking has to fulfil the requirements.” Ssewanyana said.

In a phone interview on Thursday according to the Observer, Ssewanyana added that the venue is however booked for other shows, however capacity to accommodate both is available if Police approves.
