After nearly one month of his hugely successful “5th Dimension” 2023 USA and Canada tour, international reggae, dancehall, & afrobeats composer and performer Stonebwoy is back on the road for his all-new “5th Dimension” Australia, UK, and Europe Tour.
On Friday, September 29, the Ghanaian-born entertainer brought his sold-out “5th Dimension” world tour to Doug Jennings Park on the Gold Coast, marking the first of three shows scheduled to take place in Australia this Autumn.
Stonebwoy performed before a crowd of over 20,000 fans at the 2023 Promiseland Festival, making a triumphant return to touring in Australia since the 2016 “Go High Tour”.
The BET award-winner’s performance was a carefully curated journey through his illustrious career, seamlessly transitioning from soulful tunes to hard-hitting anthems. He delivered a performance with a setlist that spanned his entire solo catalog.
However, he performed nearly every song from the new “5th Dimension” album, including the hit singles “Into the Future”, “Activate”, “My Sound”, “Life and Money”, “Therapy”, “Manodzi,” featuring 5x Grammy Award-winning singer Angelique Kidjo, and “Non Stop.”
Stonebwoy’s headlining “5th Dimension” Australia tour continued on Sunday, October 1, in Perth at the Metro City, which was already sold out.
He is expected to grace some iconic venues in Europe and the UK over the course of October.
The “5th Dimension” world tour also includes an extensive run of Europe and UK dates: Stonebwoy will perform in Brescia, Italy, on October 14th, Amsterdam, Netherlands, on October 15th, and a trio of performances in Berlin, Hamburg, and Dusseldorf, Germany, on October 19th, 20th, and 21st, respectively. It continues in the UK on October 26th in Manchester and Birmingham on October 27th, with a concluding date set for October 29th at London’s Electric Brixton.
The “5th Dimension” world tour supports Stonebwoy’s 2023 album of the same name.
Widely hailed as a career-best, the album was acclaimed for its pivot to African and Caribbean styles such as afrobeats, reggae, dancehall, amapiano, folk, and other styles while leaning primarily toward pop-related themes. The album, which showcases the artist’s evolution and growth, pushing boundaries and delving into uncharted musical territories, debuted at No. 8 on the Billboard World Reggae Album Charts.
The Kente Wear Festival is set to return in 2026 with an expanded series of four spectacular shows celebrating Ghana’s rich textile heritage, fashion, and culture, with Ghanaian musician Lord Paper and his band announced as the headline performers for this year’s edition.
The annual festival continues to champion the promotion of Ghana’s iconic Kente fabric while creating a platform for designers, models, entrepreneurs, and lovers of African culture to showcase the beauty and creativity of Ghanaian fashion in the diaspora.
The 2026 edition will be held across four venues, giving patrons multiple opportunities to experience the unique blend of fashion, music, and culture. 
One of the major highlights of this year’s festival will be the performance by Lord Paper and his band, who are expected to thrill audiences with some of their biggest hits while adding a vibrant musical experience to the celebration of Ghanaian heritage.
According to the organisers, the festival remains committed to promoting Made-in-Ghana apparel, fashion accessories, and locally inspired designs while strengthening the connection between Ghanaians in the diaspora and their cultural roots. “We live in a globalised world, and it is important that we celebrate Ghanaian fashion and culture wherever we find ourselves. Through the Kente Wear Festival, we continue to preserve our traditions, tell our stories, and introduce the elegance of Ghanaian craftsmanship to a global audience,” the organisers said.
Beyond the fashion runway, the festival will feature cultural performances, exhibitions, networking opportunities, and displays of both traditional and contemporary Kente-inspired designs, making it one of the premier events celebrating Ghanaian culture.
With four exciting shows and a headline performance by Lord Paper and his band, the 2026 Kente Wear Festival promises to deliver an unforgettable celebration of fashion, music, and cultural pride. GNA
