Ghanaian rap icon Michael Owusu Addo, known professionally as Sarkodie, has achieved a landmark moment in African music history by selling out London’s prestigious Royal Albert Hall for his upcoming Rapperholic UK concert. All 5,272 seats at the iconic venue are now fully booked ahead of the show scheduled for March 6, 2026, which coincides with Ghana’s 69th Independence Day.
The sell-out at the Royal Albert Hall underscores Sarkodie’s global appeal and reflects the growing international demand for African hip-hop and Ghanaian artistry. The venue, celebrated for its storied history and world-class performances, will host fans from across the UK and Europe for what promises to be a memorable night of music.
Rapperholic began over a decade ago as an annual concert event in Accra. Over time it has evolved into a major brand in African live music. This international edition marks one of the most significant moments in the concert’s trajectory, highlighting its expansion beyond Ghana’s borders and solidifying Sarkodie’s role as a cultural ambassador on the global stage.
