Stonebwoy speaks about Bhim festival 2026
The Ghanaian Afro-dancehall musician Stonebwoy made the commitment during a meeting with British bloggers and influencers in London, pointing to the track record of his annual festival back home as proof of his commitment to fan safety.
"Yes, security is top-notch. If you've been to my festivals in Ghana, 50,000 people troop in, and everything is nice. They chill, they have fun. I've got people from the presidency at my shows every time, MPs, high-class kings and queens, and security is top-notch. So we're going to implement the same quality over here to make sure the people are safe and have a beautiful, enabling environment to enjoy themselves," he said.

Stonebwoy's BHIM festival legacy and London milestone
The August show carries significant weight beyond the security conversation. It will be Stonebwoy's first headline performance at the iconic north London venue and marks a historic milestone as the first time a Ghanaian artiste has headlined a concert there.
BHIM Festival began as a grassroots celebration of Afro-dancehall culture in Ashaiman, Ghana, and has grown steadily over ten editions into one of the country's most prominent annual music events, drawing tens of thousands of fans each year.

Stonebwoy's promise of a world-class performance
Beyond logistics, Stonebwoy was equally forthright about the quality of performance fans should expect, drawing a clear distinction between artistes who simply show up and those who invest fully in their craft.
"We are going to present the music at the highest level of representation, so you know that we're not taking it for a joke. Some artistes get on stage and they deliver when they have to deliver, but when you see the ones who put in the blood, sweat, tears, and heart, and make sure they beautify the craft, I choose to be one of those. So the people deserve that quality of performance, and that's what I am going to put up," he said.
The London meeting also featured a friendly moment between Stonebwoy and fellow Ghanaian musician Medikal, adding a warm, social dimension to what was otherwise a focused preview of the concert.
