Hiplife Festival To Rock UK

On Saturday 25 August 2007 all roads will lead to The Coronet Theatre, 28 New Kent Road, Elephant & Castle, London, SE1 6TJ. Show starts at 10pm and the jam continues until 6am. It promises to be the hottest Ghanaian event in the Uk this year.

Last year saw the birth of the Hiplife Festival. Seven top Hiplife artists stepped down from Ghana to perform live at the Stratford Rex, London.

This event became one of the most memorable on the Ghanaian music calendar in the UK.

Now, Alordia Promotions in association with Risky Entertainment, West Coast Entertainment and Abrantee Promotions return once again for The Hiplife Festival 2007 which also coincides with the Ghana at 50th Celebrations, which is a year long celebration of Ghana's 50th year of Independence and 10 years since the birth of the Hiplife Music genre.

This event promises to be the biggest Ghanaian music celebration this year and will feature live performances from Hiplife royalty such as Castro, V.I.P., Boli, Tic-Tac, A-Plus, as well as Kwabena Kwabena and a special guest artist (the Hiplife Don Dada)! Representing for the ladies will be Abrewa Nana and Manye Mercy (formerly of Triple M fame). UK support will come from Sonny Bali, Candy Man, Sonny Achiba, Howls of Lords, Franky Boy and Roman Fathers.

There will also be a comedy set from the funniest man in Ghana - the one and only, Agya Koo.
