Ludacris comes face to face with Sarkodie, 4x4, Naeto C & Black-N-Peach

Vodafone today announced the award winning line up for the third year of Ghana’s most anticipated concert - 020 Live! Sarkodie, Ludacris, 4x4 and Naeto C will be joined by Vodafone Icons winners Black n Peach on 29 September at the Dome for a concert that is guaranteed to rock Accra.

020 live gets bigger this year with a regional concert in Kumasi by some of the artistes the weekend before the main concert in Accra.

The annual concert, which is in its third year, has gotten bigger and better each year and is expected to take entertainment to the next level.

Music fans will be guaranteed a night to remember with performances by three of Africa’s most awarded music artistes and Ludacris, one of the best live performers in the US.

Awards 2012 (VGMA) winners 4x4 and Sarkodie in the Best Group and Artiste of the ear respectively, are returning to the 020 Live stage for the second time after they both rocked the stage in the first 020 Live concert.

Black n Peach will be performing on the 020 Live stage in their first public performance since winning Vodafone Icon.

The experience of music fans is the first thing we consider when we think about 020 Live and I am certain that this year the experience will be unparalleled. People can expect an award winning concert this year.
