Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Davido is among the major attractions announced for the 2026 Tidal Rave Festival, joining Ghanaian artistes Kwesi Arthur, Kweku Smoke and Lasmid for the annual beach music event in Accra.
The festival is scheduled for Saturday, November 14, at the La Palm Royal Beach Hotel, where thousands of music lovers are expected to gather for a day of live performances, entertainment and social activities.
Organised by EchoHouse, this year’s edition will be held under the theme, “No Raver Left Behind”, with organisers placing emphasis on friendship, inclusion and shared experiences.
The theme is intended to encourage festivalgoers to attend with friends, connect with other participants and ensure that everyone feels part of the experience.
Awo Somuah-Ampadu, Regional Lead of Echo Live at EchoHouse, said the concept was inspired by the different personalities and friendships that make shared experiences memorable.
She explained that music, fashion, laughter and spontaneous moments become more meaningful when enjoyed in the company of friends.
Chief Executive Officer of EchoHouse, Beryl Agyekum Ayaaba, said the festival had consistently focused on bringing young people together through memorable experiences.
She said the #NoRaverLeftBehind concept would celebrate the friendships formed around the event while creating more opportunities for participation and interaction.
According to the organisers, this year’s festival will feature group activities, shared spaces and other engagements designed to encourage attendees to create lasting memories together.
Several brands are partnering the event, including Johnnie Walker, Blue Jeans, Coca-Cola, Nescafé, *959#, Pepsodent and Munchee.
Johnnie Walker will return with a dedicated brand experience, while the other partners are expected to support various activities and engagements throughout the festival.
Ms Somuah-Ampadu said the organisers were exploring ways to make the event more interactive by allowing attendees to spend time together, discover new experiences and participate in activities tailored to the festival’s theme.
Tickets for the 2026 Tidal Rave Festival are available through the event’s official website, www.tidalravefestival.com.
The festival remains one of Africa’s major beach music events, bringing together artistes, DJs, MCs and music enthusiasts for a celebration of music and youth culture.
