Samuel Ofei Ankrah Badu, better known as AratheJay, is set to perform live at XCape Beach Resort in Cape Coast on Sunday, 11 October. The artist confirmed that the show will be his first ever in the Central Region, a milestone he said would be a special moment for the people of Cape Coast.
“This will be a special moment for the people of Cape Coast, because for the first ever time, I’m going to have a show there. It’s going to be a live band performance,” AratheJay told fans.
The Cape Coast concert is part of a nationwide city tour that will culminate in a headline event in Accra this December. AratheJay explained that the tour is designed to give audiences an intimate experience of his evolving sound, saying, “We are leading the audience to an experience which is going to happen in December in Accra. But before that, we are going to touch a couple of cities, so we just came from Kumasi, we do Cape Coast and hopeful another city before closing the year with Nimo Live Experience in Accra.”
Fans can expect a night of unforgettable music with a live band featuring some of AratheJay’s biggest records. He described the upcoming concert as a deeper connection to his artistry: “Nimo Live is AraTheJay live on stage. One set at a time, you get to hear AratheJay and listen to his music, but this time you get to feel the individual, get to understand the depth to what he makes music with. It’s not just lyrics and melodies, it’s more than that. That’s why I yearn for the audience to come for Nimo Life, come and experience me more live.”
AratheJay, known for blending traditional Ghanaian Highlife with Afro‑soul and contemporary Afrobeats, has been highlighted by Apple Music’s Africa Rising Class of 2025, the Up Next programme, OkayAfrica and Amplify Africa, signalling his growing international potential.
Tickets for the Cape Coast show are available through the XCape Beach Resort box office and online platforms. The concert promises to be a memorable night for local fans and visitors alike.
