Sarkodie to host Rapperholic Concert at London’s Royal Albert Hall
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

The Christmas festivities were nothing short of fun and excitement, especially for patrons of Dodi World in Akosombo in the Eastern Region.
A major highlight was a memorable voyage aboard the famous MV Dodi Princess II, a 150-capacity pleasure boat, which sailed to the scenic Dodi Island, an 84-hectare natural haven.
Among the patrons was a vibrant social group known as ‘Weekend Day Out’, which brings together individuals from diverse backgrounds and workplaces to interact, share ideas and enjoy memorable leisure experiences.
On December 26, the group joined hundreds of other fun lovers to fill the vessel to capacity for what many described as an experience of a lifetime.
The over five-hour journey from Dodi World through to Dodi Island was electrifying. Patrons enjoyed breath-taking rare views of the island’s rich natural scenery and wildlife before returning onboard for the cruise back to the starting point.
The atmosphere was further enlivened by music from DJs and a live band, complemented by an array of drinks and grilled meals, ensuring both young and old had something to cheer about throughout the voyage.
For members of the Weekend Day Out group, the trip served as a joyful reunion with friends after a year of professional commitments, while also providing an opportunity to plan future adventures in the coming year.
Speaking after the event, one of the patrons, Ms Gloria Yaa Baby, said although she had embarked on the voyage several times, the most recent experience was particularly breathtaking and memorable.
“This one was different, with more people and interactive sessions. It gave me many reasons to return and experience the fun again with the Weekend Day Out group,” she stated.
With another exciting adventure scheduled for March this year, she encouraged Ghanaians to make time out of their busy schedules to relax, unwind and enjoy life.
