Also, she emphasized that “the show promises to be very exciting and audiences should only be expecting the best of live performances as we have enlisted some of Ghana’s finest musicians to thrill fans all over the world”.

A-list artist to perform

That notwithstanding, the show will see performances from some A-list artists in Ghana including Camidoh, Celestine Donkor, Episode, Kuami Eugene, KelvynBoy, Adina, Kwesi Arthur, Amerado, and others.
