Last year, the show was downscaled after a change in venue from the Accra Sports Stadium to the La Palm Royal Beach Hotel.

It's unclear whether the show will return to the Accra Sports Stadium this year. The stadium has become a hotspot for several musicians despite its deplorable state.

In April this year, the National Sports Authority announced its decision to extend the closure of the Accra Sports Stadium for domestic football matches.

Minister for Sports and Recreation, Kofi Iddie Adams, says the stadium is in a mess and demands instant renovation.
