With the diaspora turning out and IRAWMA wins behind him, August 1 is set as a major moment for Ghanaian music abroad.
ShattaFest UK 2026 hits London August 1, 12 PM 9 PM at Copthall Playing Fields. Tickets are on Eventbrite now. If you’re in the UK or Europe, this is the Shatta Movement’s biggest diaspora link-up of the year.
