Whether it is a show of worth, supremacy, ability to pull a huge crowd or both by music promoters/musicians in Uganda, remains to be judged by Ugandan music lovers on 6th December 2013 when Gagamel President Bebe Cool facing off with the Good Lyf duo of Moze radio and weasel in the Battle of Champions concert, will tussle it out with Jamaican reggae star Busy Signal who also will be having a concert on the same day.
The two shows will be held adjacent to each other, with Battle of the Champion at Kyadondo Rugby grounds while Busy Signal’s will be at Lugogo Cricket Oval, all next to Game store on Jinja road.

Promoters of the two concerts are both good at the game, having officiated over most of Uganda's successful concerts for both local and foreign Artists.
In an interview with a local TV station, Suudi man of Suudi entertainment, said they cannot alter the date of their concert since they had already finalized arrangements with Busy Signal in regard to the concert before the Battle of Champions was scheduled on the same day.
“Signal is an international and a very busy musician and changing date agreed upon for a concert would be an inconvenience to his schedule”, said Suudi.
Entry Fees.
There is also completion in the entry fees with Battle of Champions going for shs20,000 and shs50,000 for ordinary and VIP tickets respectively, while Signal’s is going for shs20,000 ordinary and shs75,000 for VIP.
Strength.
Battle of Champions relies on the local fan base, basing on the fact that both Bebe Cool and the Good Lyf are all loved and successful artists here in Uganda. Most of their album launches and concerts have attracted mammoth crowds.
For Signal, his promoters are basing on the fact that he is an International artist and hence Ugandans would love to be treated to some international performance. Busy Signal has never been in Uganda.
His style of music is also another factor that sets him apart from the local musicians. His reggae Dancehall style is so unique that every Ugandan would love to feel.
Signal's promoters have lined up Dr. Jose Chameleon and Peter Miles to curtain raise the show. Peter Miles is so far Uganda's top Dancehall musician, having had collaborations with top international artists like Demaco.
