In addition to the headliners, DMV Party in the Park 2023 will feature a plethora of talented DJ from various genres, including Afrobeats, Amapiano, hip-hop, electronic, and alternative rock.

Apart from the musical performances, the festival will feature immersive art installations, culinary delights, games, and vibrant atmosphere, making it a truly unique experience for festival-goers.
GHANAIAN rapper Sarkodie will take his flagship Rapperholic concert to the United Kingdom for the first time, marking a major milestone for the annual event that has become a staple of Ghana’s music calendar.
The show, scheduled for the prestigious Royal Albert Hall in London on Friday, March 6, 2026, would be produced in partnership with Bizzle Entertainment and Kilimanjaro Live.
Sarkodie, one of Africa’s most decorated hip-hop artistes, said the move represents a cultural shift and feels timely.
“This is more than just a concert; it’s about expanding the culture beyond borders,” he said in a social media post, adding that after 13 years of hosting Rapperholic in Ghana, taking it to the UK is a natural progression.
Bizzle Entertainment, which previously staged Fameye’s “2 in a Guy” concert and Highlife legend Amakye Dede’s 50th anniversary show in London, would co-produce the event.
Rapperholic, launched in 2013, has grown into one of Ghana’s biggest music brands, drawing thousands of fans each year.
The London edition is expected to attract a diverse audience and further cement Sarkodie’s influence on the global Afrobeats and rap music scenes. –GNA
