Cultivating Creativity, Inspiring Change
The Wild Ones is more than a bar, restaurant, or event space — it’s a movement. A place where creativity thrives, connections spark, and ideas turn into reality.
Our community is at the heart of it all. It’s where DJs meet dancers, filmmakers meet fashion designers, chefs meet foodies — and where customers become part of the story, not just the audience.
Because the real magic of The Wild Ones isn’t just what happens on stage or on the rooftop — it’s what happens when people come together.
Our Core Tribes – EleCtronic & LIVE MUSIC
The Wild Ones is a bar, a music venue, and a creative hub — rooted in a space with a long history in Kampala’s electronic and live music scene. From the days of Wild Coffee Bar and Embers, we’re proud to carry the baton and to stand on the shoulders of these giants.
That’s why our Core Tribes begin with Electronic Music and Live Music — the heartbeat of who we are and where we’re headed. Our vision is to make The Wild Ones the home of music in Kampala, while connecting local talent to global audiences through streaming, residencies, and collaborations. Click below to explore each tribe and find your place in the story.

ACTIVELY GROWING TRIBES
At The Wild Ones, we’re not just building separate clubs — we’re cultivating a creative ecosystem. Each tribe has its own energy, but the real magic comes from cross-fertilisation between disciplines: fashion meeting music, poetry colliding with dance, visual art inspiring live performance. We thrive on cultural exchange, collaboration, and experimentation.
These are the tribes we’re actively growing right now. Each one is both a home for specialists and an open door for anyone who loves and supports the art form.
Explore the tribes below, join the ones that speak to you, and help us shape the future of The Wild Ones together.

Emerging Tribes
We’ve planted the seeds for 13+ other clubs — from film to food, comedy to wellbeing. Each one is a canvas waiting to be painted, a community waiting to grow.
At The Wild Ones, new ideas take root when proactive, passionate people step forward. This isn’t a top-down organisation — it’s a living, breathing space where the community calls the shots. Tell us what you want to see, what you want to do, and together we’ll make it happen.
So join a tribe, share your ideas, and bring your passion to the table. Try a two-week residency, test things out, and help shape what comes next.
IT’s ALL ABOUT SOCIAL IMPACT!
At The Wild Ones, cultivating creativity and inspiring change is more than a tagline — it’s the heart of what we do. Our founder, Marcus Warry, started a UK-based consultancy called My Social Impact, and The Wild Ones is where we practice what we preach: turning ideas into action, and creativity into impact.
The Social Impact Club is a space to bring together social impact warriors from Uganda, East Africa, and around the world — creatives, entrepreneurs, activists, and supporters who want to use their talents and energy to drive positive change.
This is where culture meets purpose, where projects take root, and where collaboration fuels transformation. Join us, and be part of shaping a better future.
