Grammy Award-winning Nigerian superstar, Burna Boy, is set to electrify fans in Ghana tonight as the headline act for a major free concert. The event, organised by GTBank Ghana, promises a spectacular showcase of African musical talent.
Concert Details and Star-Studded Lineup
The GT Music Concert is scheduled for Friday, December 19, 2025, at the Accra Sports Stadium. Gates will open at 7 pm for what organisers have billed as an exciting night of live performances. In a significant gesture to fans, entry to the concert is completely free for the general public, with thousands of music lovers expected to attend.
The event will not only feature Burna Boy but also a powerful lineup of leading Ghanaian and Nigerian artistes. The confirmed performers include Ghana's Shatta Wale, Sarkodie, King Promise, and R2Bees. They will be joined by Nigerian stars such as Patoranking, Ayra Starr, Joeboy, and Fireboy DML.
Official Announcement and Fan Anticipation
GTBank (Ghana) Ltd made the official confirmation of Burna Boy's performance in a post on its X account on Thursday night. The bank's message read, "City boys don’t talk. Simply, we’re giving you another reason to scream… our odogwu is ON!"
This concert has established itself as a popular year-end celebration in Ghana, bringing together top African artistes to celebrate music and culture. Burna Boy's appearance is particularly anticipated due to his massive fan base in Ghana and his renowned reputation for delivering high-energy, memorable live shows.
Context: Following a Turbulent Tour
The Accra performance comes after Burna Boy's recent North American tour in support of his album 'No Sign of Weakness'. The tour, which began in October 2025 in Australia, faced several challenges during its US leg.
In November, the opening US show at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado drew backlash after Burna Boy paused his performance to confront a fan he believed was sleeping. The incident sparked widespread online criticism. Subsequently, reports emerged of low turnout at some venues, with footage from a Houston show on November 22 showing empty seats.
The situation escalated with the cancellation of at least two tour dates scheduled for November 28 and December 1, though no official reason was provided. Despite these setbacks, Burna Boy remains a global powerhouse. Supporters often point to his historic achievements, such as becoming the first Nigerian artist to sell out a US stadium—Citi Field in New York—in July 2023, performing for over 40,000 fans.
Tonight's free concert in Accra represents a major return to the African stage for the artist, offering fans a chance to experience his hit-laden performance in a massive, celebratory setting.
