Kenyan music stars Khaligraph Jones, Dyana Cods and Femi One will headline the entertainment line-up at this weekend’s Christie Sevens, which marks its 60th anniversary at the RFUEA Grounds in Nairobi.

The tournament will be held from Saturday, September 12 to Sunday, September 13, bringing the 2026 National Sevens Circuit to a close with the overall title still up for grabs.

KCB Rugby go into the final leg top of the standings, six points clear of rivals Kabras Sugar after a closely fought season in which the two sides have repeatedly met in Cup finals.

KCB recently beat Kabras 12-10 in the Embu Sevens final to strengthen their position ahead of the decisive Christie Sevens.

KCB will headline Pool A alongside hosts Kenya Harlequin, MMUST Rugby and invited side Club Afrique. Pool B features Kabras Sugar, Blak Blad, NYS Spades and newly promoted Division Two champions Mean Machine.

Away from the action on the pitch, Khaligraph Jones will headline Saturday’s entertainment programme, performing songs from his catalogue including “Mazishi”, “Ngori”, “Yego” and “Yes Bana”.

DJ Schwaz will open the programme before DJ Ruffi takes over, with DJ Sanif closing the night. MC BV Accurate will host the programme.

Dyana Cods and Femi One will headline Sunday’s entertainment, supported by DJs Nickdee, Pinto and Verah. MC BV Accurate will again host.

The entertainment forms part of Tusker’s support for the National Sevens Circuit through its Tusker Na Rugby platform.

Tusker Sports Brand Manager Keza Mpyisi said the Christie Sevens would provide a fitting conclusion to the season.

“The Christie Sevens is a fitting finale to what has been an exciting National Sevens Circuit season,” Mpyisi said.

“We are proud to support the 60th edition of Christie Sevens and look forward to closing the season with another great weekend of rugby, music and entertainment at RFUEA Grounds.”

The 60th edition of the Christie Sevens will also bring together generations of players, fans and members of the wider rugby community in one of the longest-running tournaments on Kenya’s rugby calendar.

Tusker’s partnership with the National Sevens Circuit has covered the season’s legs in Nakuru, Kisumu, Nairobi, Mombasa and Embu, combining rugby competition with entertainment and fan activities.
