event details

MEGA, also known as @Megaishername, is a British-Ugandan artist whose powerful voice and soul-stirring songwriting connect with listeners on a deeply personal level. With over 100 million, she returns with her latest EP I Am Enough, a bold statement of self-realisation, resilience, and empowerment, which this year earned critical praise, appearing in The Times’ Best New Songs and NPR’s Best New Albums. Blending soul, pop, and indie with roots in her Ugandan heritage, MEGA has been widely acclaimed by Rolling Stone, The Independent, NME, The Times, Clash Magazine, Galore, and NPR for her soaring vocals, empowering lyrics, and themes of mental resilience. Named The Standard’s One to Watch for 2026, MEGA is celebrated for electrifying, uplifting, and deeply communal live shows, and for songs that “ delve into identity in a manner which makes your hairs stand on end.” She recently headlined the Meltdown Festival at London’s Southbank Centre, curated by Little Simz, and her single “My Bones” spent six consecutive weeks on the BBC Radio 2 playlist. With a big voice, a big heart, and songs that explore vulnerability, self-discovery, and empowerment, MEGA is here to make her mark. In the words of LadyGunn magazine she has been “cemented as one of the UK’s most exciting voices.” This is a show you don’t want to miss.
