The development comes after they performed together for the first time in many years on Thursday, December 14 at the Protea Hotel Kampala Skyz in Naguru, Kampala.

Their Thursday show dubbed The Blu3 Reunion was sold out and Sanyu said it was an activation for their major concert that will be held on March 8, 2024, at the Kampala Serena Hotel.

The event was graced by many celebrities, notably Sheebah Karungi and Eddy Kenzo, the vice president and president of the Uganda National Musicians Federation respectively.

They sang some of their band songs and solo projects. From the Blu*3 days, they sang Strong Woman, Mutima Gwange, Nkwekumide, Nsanyuka Nawe, Kankyakyankye, Ndibera Nawe and Hitaji. For solo projects, Lilian Mbabazi belted out Dagala, Jackie Chandiru did Gold Digger and Cindy Sanyu (Selecta).

At the time of forming Blu*3, Sanyu was 17, Mbabazi, 19, and Jackie, 18.

The divas met during the Coca-Cola Pop Stars and after the competition, the trio, in 2005, teamed up to form Blu*3 under the management of Steve Jean, the legendary producer and owner of Fenon Records.

However, the group didn't last long after Cindy was fired two years later and they brought Mya Baganda to replace her and rebranded to Blu3 (without the asterisk). The new trio was also together for a short while and they decided to go solo.

They join a growing list of singers that have already scheduled concerts for the coming year. Rema Namakula announced that she will hold a concert on February 23, 2024, at the Sheraton Hotel in Kampala, while Lydia Jazmine's is slated for March 1, 2024.
