Dar es Salaam. The rapid growth of the entertainment industry, particularly music concerts across Ilala, Kinondoni, Ubungo and Temeke municipalities, has reignited debate over the impact of excessive noise on public health and community wellbeing.

Industry observers say the surge in concerts has been driven by the expansion of the country’s music scene and rising demand for live performances.
