Award-winning Ghanaian highlife and Afrobeat artist Kuami Eugene, known as the ‘Rockstar’, has officially announced the return of his highly anticipated annual concert, rebranding it and moving the main event to Kumasi for the first time.
The concert, formerly known as “Hero’s Concert”, will now be titled “Highlife Time with Kuami Eugene” and is scheduled to take place on Boxing Day, Thursday, December 26, 2025, at the Milan Lounge in Kumasi, starting at 8 PM.
Born Eugene Kwame Marfo, Kuami Eugene revealed that the relocation of the concert to the Ashanti Regional capital is a deliberate strategy to connect with the city’s rich Highlife culture.
“I’m bringing back Hero’s Concert. The last one was with A.B. Crentsil, who passed on later,” Kuami Eugene shared. “I’m bringing it to Kumasi, actually. Kumasi is more highlife-oriented. Even though I sell out Accra all the time, I thought it was wise to bring it to Kumasi (at least for this year). The only change is the name, which is now ‘Highlife Time with Kuami Eugene’.”
The artist’s previous ‘Hero Concert’ in 2021 was a celebrated event, where he honoured and performed alongside the late Highlife legend A.B. Crentsil, emphasizing his commitment to preserving and celebrating Ghana’s authentic Highlife music.
With several hit records to his name, “Highlife Time with Kuami Eugene” promises a night of rich Ghanaian sounds, live band performances, and a celebration of musical heritage, curated by one of the country’s most consistent hitmakers.
The event is expected to attract music lovers from across the Ashanti Region and beyond, as Kuami Eugene takes another bold step in preserving and modernising Ghana’s highlife sound.
