This year’s edition would be the highly anticipated festival’s 10th anniversary. A post he shared online on July 15 has hiked up the anticipation for the concert.
In his post, Stonebwoy shared a snippet from last year’s edition, which had Davido as a special guest.
In 2023, the Bhim Festival drew about 40,000 fans to the Accra Sports Stadium for an incredible Ghanaian-Jamaican edition with dancehall icons Jahmiel and 10Tik.
Last year, the show was downscaled after a change in venue from the Accra Sports Stadium to the La Palm Royal Beach Hotel.
It’s unclear whether the show will return to the Accra Sports Stadium this year. The stadium has become a hotspot for several musicians despite its deplorable state.
In April this year, the National Sports Authority announced its decision to extend the closure of the Accra Sports Stadium for domestic football matches.
Minister for Sports and Recreation, Kofi Iddie Adams, says the stadium is in a mess and demands instant renovation.
