No announcement of artistes for ‘Shades of Love Concert’ — Akwaboah
Highlife musician, Gladstorm Kwabena Akwaboah Jnr., known in showbiz circles as Akwaboah has explained why he will not announce the guest artistes performing at his ‘Shades of Love concert’ on Valentine’s Day.
According to him, past experiences have taught him that publicising guest artistes can be risky, as some would fail to show up.
To avoid deceiving the public with the names of artistes who may not perform, Akwaboah has decided to keep the guest acts a secret.
“I’ve had experiences in the past where I made guest artistes public, and they failed to show up. Some even attended rehearsals but didn’t appear for the event itself.
“Since people often buy tickets because their favourite artistes are performing, I don’t want to advertise names and risk some not showing up, making it seem like I deceived the public. So, I’ve decided not to make it public,” he explained.
Akwaboah’s ‘Shades Of Love Concert is scheduled for February 14, 2025, at the Palms Convention Centre to celebrate love on Valentine’s Day.
