As stated by the Hennesy hitmaker Loui, who is also one of the festival's headliners, in an interview with Clouds FM, emphasized that he and his team conceived the festival concept. They noticed that unlike the USA and other major music markets, Tanzania was missing a festival centered around a specific season theme.
"For a considerable time, Tanzania was missing a seasonal-themed event that could take place both in the afternoons and at night. This gathering primarily focuses on live performances, and I can proudly claim to be the world's first artist to introduce this unique style of performance, which involves hyping, playing drums, and singing simultaneously." said Loui whose song Hennesy was mentioned as one of the best 100 Tanzanian songs of the decade.
Summer In marks the first-ever festival of its kind in Tanzania, and it's anticipated to bring its vibrant energy to various locations across mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar.
