Stonebwoy Set to Make History as First Ghanaian to Headline OVO Arena Wembley with BHIM Festival London
London, get ready. The Bhim Nation is coming home.
On Saturday, August 15, 2026, Ghanaian Afro-dancehall powerhouse Stonebwoy will achieve what no Ghanaian artist has done before — headline the iconic OVO Arena Wembley. The 12,500-capacity venue will host the first-ever UK edition of his flagship BHIM Festival, marking a seismic moment for Ghanaian music and the African diaspora.
The Venue. The Moment. The History.
From Ashaiman to Wembley. Stonebwoy, born Livingstone Etse Satekla, confirmed the landmark show during an interview with Saddick Adams on Angel FM on March 25, 2026: _“We are taking the BHIM Fest to London this year... the date is 15th August, and it will be at the OVO Arena at Wembley”.
This isn’t just another tour date. After selling out O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire in 2025, this self-produced headline show cements Stonebwoy’s global ascent and the growing dominance of Afrobeats, reggae, and dancehall on world stages.
What to Expect: The BHIM Experience
Expect fire. Literally. BHIM Festival has delivered 10 successful editions in Ghana, hosting icons like Beenie Man, Busy Signal, Davido, and Morgan Heritage. For London, 1GAD is bringing the full arsenal.
Guest Acts: DopeNation, Ofori Amponsah, Samini, StyloG, and Kwabana Kwababa confirmed. Stonebwoy also teased a legendary link-up with “MR ALL 4REAL” Ofori Amponsah.
The Setlist: Fans can expect a career-spanning journey from _Overlord_ to _Putuu_, _Activate_, _Therapy_, and _Into The Future_, plus cuts from his 2026 album _TORCHER II_. cb4de405
The Vibes: Burniton Music Group’s promo reel shows Stonebwoy arriving in London in a red tracksuit, driving through iconic streets, and declaring the night an _“Absolute UK Shutdown”_. The energy? _“We clearing the road 🔥🔥🔥”.

The show has diplomatic weight. YFM Ghana reported Stonebwoy’s courtesy call on Ghana’s UK High Commissioner Sabah Zita Benson to promote the concert, positioning him as a cultural ambassador. Sam Creatives CEO Samuel Clottey says Stonebwoy _“will successfully fill the famous arena”_ and called BHIM Fest _“more than just a concert… it represents Ghanaian culture, African music and unity.
Stonebwoy joins Sarkodie, Shatta Wale, and Amaarae in a 2026 UK takeover by Ghanaian acts. But as the first to headline Wembley, this is legacy territory. As one fan put it: _“The whole Ghana will be UK”.
This is Afro-dancehall’s Wembley moment. Don’t be left out.
