The Torcher hitmaker broke the news on Thursday, May 12, 2026, via his Instagram page in a characteristically brief but emphatic announcement.
He shared a video of some of his past stage performances with the caption:
"BHIM FEST 2026…LONDON, SEE YOU SOON! #BHIMFestLondon #BHIMFestLDN."
The announcement sent his fanbase into a frenzy ahead of what promises to be a landmark event for Ghana's diaspora music scene.
Watch Stonebwoy's video on Instagram below:
Stonebwoy's move comes on the heels of Ghanaian rap titan Sarkodie's successful staging of the UK edition of his own Rapperholic concert in London.
If it comes to pass, it would add to what appears to be a deliberate, accelerated push by Ghana's biggest musical exports to plant their flags in the British capital and tap into its substantial West African diaspora community.
BHIM Fest has for years been one of Ghana's most anticipated live music events, routinely packing venues with thousands of fans and drawing both homegrown and international performers to its stage.
Stonebwoy, born Livingstone Etse Satekla, has built the festival into a cultural institution since its inception, using it as a platform to showcase the breadth of Ghanaian musical talent.
