Africa’s most decorated rapper, Sarkodie, has announced his return to Kumasi for the 2026 edition of his iconic concert franchise, Rapperholic.
The official poster, released exclusively to media partners today, confirms that Rapperholic ’26 will be a massive stadium-scale event, taking over the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Saturday, October 24, 2026. This announcement ends months of speculation from his dedicated fanbase.
Rapperholic, a staple of Ghana’s December entertainment calendar, typically held in Accra, made its first successful move to Kumasi last year.
The decision to bring the show to the ‘Garden City’ reflects Sarkodie’s strategic desire to reconnect with his roots and create a more accessible experience for the northern part of Ghana.
Speaking about the venue choice, a representative from Sarkodie’s team commented: “Kumasi is special to Sarkodie. The energy, the love, and the history are all factors. The Baba Yara Sports Stadium is the only venue big enough to contain the scale of what we are planning for Rapperholic ’26. We are not just bringing a show; we are bringing an experience that Kumasi has never seen before.“
Fans can expect an electrifying night featuring a curated lineup of supporting acts (to be announced), premium production value, and a headline performance from Sarkodie, known for his relentless flow and stage-commanding presence.
The announcement poster itself has already set social media abuzz. The visual, a striking black-and-white portrait of Sarkodie adorned with his signature double Jesus piece pendants, is overlaid with textured, grunge-style text: “RAPPERHOLIC26” and “SARKODIE” in bold, eroded yellow typography. All key information, including the date and venue, is clearly detailed, promising an unforgettable night.
Ticket sales and lineup details will be announced in the coming weeks.
