Sauti Sol Confirms Sol Fest’s December Return with Star-Studded Lineup

In a separate interview with Iko Nini Podcast in March 2024, Bien, one of the band’s members, shed light on the financial success of Sol Fest.

He revealed, “After Sauti Sol did Sol Fest, ticket sales alone generated around Sh70 million, with merchandise bringing in another Sh10 million or so.

With sponsorships, the total revenue hit Sh100 million. Now, who’s going to pay me that kind of money? Even if they say I’m not worth Sh100 million because I’m not Sauti Sol, well, I’m still a quarter of Sauti Sol. So I just go about my business, controlling everything and building an entire economy around myself.”
