Ghanaian dancehall and Afro-dancehall star, Stonebwoy has officially called on his global fanbase, known as BHIM Nation, to gather in Italy this weekend for a special live performance.
The concert, organized by OP SHOW, is scheduled for Saturday, September 12, 2026, at Via Emilia Lepido 227 (also listed as Via Marco Emilio Lepido 227) in San Prospero, Parma. Doors and the event run from 10 p.m. Saturday into the early hours of Sunday, September 13, lasting approximately seven hours.
Tickets are available on Eventbrite starting at €39 for general admission, with another tier at €44. Table reservations can be made by calling 327 137 3327.
Promotional materials and event listings promise a high-energy night packed with Stonebwoy’s biggest hits, powerful live performances, and unforgettable vibes. Organizers have also teased a special surprise artist still to be announced, raising expectations for an even bigger spectacle.
Fans are encouraged to secure tickets quickly as the venue is expected to fill for what is being billed as one of Africa’s biggest stars taking over the northern Italian city.
This Parma date forms part of Stonebwoy’s ongoing European performance run. Just days earlier, he performed at the AiDiA Business & Culture Fest in Hamburg, Germany, on September 4–5. The Italy stop continues his pattern of taking Afro-dancehall sounds across the continent and connecting with diaspora communities and local audiences alike.
Born Livingstone Etse Satekla on March 5, 1988, in Ashaiman, Greater Accra, Ghana, Stonebwoy has built a career defined by blending reggae, dancehall, Afrobeats, and highlife into a distinctive Afro-dancehall style. He rose to prominence in the early 2010s, releasing his debut album Grade 1 and following it with award-winning projects including Necessary Evil and Epistles of Mama. The latter made Billboard chart history for a Ghanaian artist.
His accolades include Best International Act: Africa at the 2015 BET Awards and multiple Artiste of the Year wins at the Ghana Music Awards. In 2023, his album 5th Dimension, released under Def Jam Recordings Africa, earned a Grammy nomination for Best Global Music Album and charted on Billboard’s Reggae Albums list. Collaborations with artists ranging from Angelique Kidjo and Stormzy to Shaggy and Tiwa Savage have further expanded his international reach.
Earlier in 2026, Stonebwoy achieved another milestone by becoming the first Ghanaian artist to headline London’s OVO Arena Wembley with his BHIM Festival. That show underscored the growth of his self-produced events and the strength of the BHIM Nation movement, which has evolved from a fan community into a cultural platform celebrating African and Caribbean musical connections.
The Parma concert arrives at a moment when Stonebwoy continues to expand his live footprint while maintaining a relentless release schedule and touring calendar. Supporters following his recent posts have responded with enthusiasm, sharing the promotional flyer featuring the artist in signature stylish eyewear and bold attire against a deep blue backdrop.
The flyer clearly lists the date, venue, and reservation number, making it easy for fans across Europe and beyond to plan attendance.
For many in the BHIM Nation and the broader African diaspora in Italy, the show represents more than a night of music. It offers a chance to experience the high-voltage stage presence that has defined Stonebwoy’s reputation; energetic delivery, crowd interaction, and a catalog of anthems that mix street-rooted lyrics with uplifting messages.
Public Expectations
Tracks from recent projects as well as earlier hits are expected to feature, giving both longtime followers and new listeners a full spectrum of his sound.
Event organizers emphasize an in-person experience with no refunds, underscoring the live-only nature of the night. Attendees are advised to plan travel and accommodation in Parma, a city known for its cultural heritage, food, and growing interest in international music events.
The location in San Prospero places the concert in a accessible area of the city ready to host the expected lively crowd.
Stonebwoy’s announcement comes amid a busy period for Ghanaian artists on the global stage. His consistent ability to sell tickets and pack venues from Accra’s stadiums to European halls reflects the rising demand for authentic Afro-Caribbean fusion music. By addressing fans directly as “Famiglia” and promising to bring “the right Energy,” he reinforces the personal connection that has helped build one of the most dedicated fan bases in contemporary African music.
As September 12 approaches, anticipation is building on social media and among music communities in Italy and the wider diaspora. Those still deciding whether to attend have only a short window left to secure tickets through Eventbrite or arrange table bookings by phone.
For BHIM Nation members and dancehall enthusiasts, the message is clear: Parma is about to experience the Torcher live.
Stonebwoy’s Parma date adds another chapter to an already impressive 2026 itinerary. From headlining Wembley to lighting up Hamburg and now preparing to set Parma alight, the Ghanaian star continues to prove that Afro-dancehall’s reach extends far beyond its West African roots.
Fans ready for a night of powerful performances and pure energy know exactly where to be this Saturday.
