On the night of August 15, 2026, Stonebwoy will be performing inside OVO Arena Wembley while The Weeknd fills the stadium directly next door. Two shows, same postcode, same night. For Stonebwoy, this is a statement whether he planned it that way or not.
BHIM Fest is coming to London for the first time, and the venue is not a warm-up room. OVO Arena Wembley holds 12,500 people. No Ghanaian artist has headlined it before.
What BHIM Fest Is
BHIM Fest is Stonebwoy’s annual concert in Accra, which over the years has grown into one of Ghana’s most consistent large-scale artist-led events. The model, an artist building and owning their own festival brand rather than waiting for promoters, has made it one of the more sustainable live music enterprises to come out of the Ghanaian industry. Bringing it to London is a direct expansion of that brand, not a one-off concert booking.
Stonebwoy announced the Wembley date on June 9, 2026. Tickets are available through Ticketmaster, Cokobar, and AXS.
The Lineup
Joining Stonebwoy on the night are Ofori Amponsah, Samini, DopeNation, Kwabena Kwabena, and UK-based dancehall artist Stylo G. The lineup covers multiple generations of Ghanaian music without leaning too hard on any single era.
LEGEND!🫡❤️🔥https://t.co/o6ZS7StBF5 https://t.co/Xztbtqko3t

Ofori Amponsah and Kwabena Kwabena represent the highlife generation that built the audience Stonebwoy’s own fans grew up watching. Samini is the reggae-dancehall thread that connects old and new. DopeNation sit at the younger end of the bill.
What August 15 Actually Means
OVO Arena Wembley is not the largest venue in London. But it is one of the most iconic. Artists who have headlined it include names that define decades of popular music. A Ghanaian artist stepping into that building with a 12,500-capacity crowd, on the same night The Weeknd is drawing the rest of the district to the stadium, is a measure of something real.
Organisers have flagged road closures around Wembley from early on August 15 due to the stadium event running simultaneously. Fans attending BHIM Fest are advised to plan transport accordingly.
