Ghanaian musician Stonebwoy has broken the ground for this year's Bhim Festival, which he believes will be a more historic experience.

Stonebwoy announced the festival right after the Kumasi leg of Sarkodie's Rapperholic Concert held at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on September 27, 2025.

A day after Sarkodie's Rapperholic concert, while Ghanaians were hailing the rapper, Stonebwoy reacted to an old video from his previous Bhim Festival.

Stonebwoy tagged the festival as a historic moment. His post garnered significant backlash as some Ghanaians bashed him for being self-serving.

Despite the negative traction, Stonebwoy hosted a live TikTok interaction, where he confirmed plans for his upcoming concert.

"Historic is historic. Two years ago, Accra Sports Stadium was choked, and we will choke it again in 2025. All because of your love and how we want to represent Ghana," Stonebwoy said.

Early bird tickets have already gone on sale. In 2023, the BHIM Festival drew about 40,000 fans to the Accra Sports Stadium for an incredible Ghanaian-Jamaican edition with dancehall icons Jahmiel and 10Tik in attendance.

Last year, the show was downscaled after a change in venue from the Accra Sports Stadium to the La Palm Royal Beach Hotel.

It's unclear whether the show will return to the Accra Sports Stadium this year, as the National Sports Authority has increased restrictions on the usage of the stadium for non-sports-related events.
