In a night that marked a long‑held ambition for the Northern Ghanaian artist, Fad Lan—known on stage as Young Bull—brought the Ghanaian music duo R2Bees to his hometown of Tamale for a Homecoming Concert at the Aliu Mahama Sports Stadium.
More than 20,000 fans reportedly filled the venue, turning the event into a celebration of music, Dagbon cultural pride and the growing influence of Northern Ghanaian talent.
Fad Lan reflected on the moment in a Facebook post, writing, “We did it. Allah was present. My fans were present. Dagbon was present. R2Bees was present. I love you all ❤️😭.” He thanked the supporters who helped make the concert a success, including sponsor Somoco Ghana, Young Bull Records and the entire Homecoming Concert team.
The night also showcased a roster of emerging and established Northern artists such as Kadiana, Drip Dwit, Fasetwo, Your Redeemer, Flamebwoy, Sambwoy, M.O Ratty, S Bio, Militana, Don Ziggy, Muftee, D L, Da Blackstar, Israhim and Wiz Child. Maccasio, self‑proclaimed Landlord, energized the crowd with a lively performance of “Landlord” in collaboration with Fad Lan.
Fad Lan brought Ricch Kid and Papi Swade on stage, further highlighting local talent and the vibrant music culture thriving in Tamale. When R2Bees took the stage, the iconic duo delivered a memorable set of their timeless hits, with fans singing along.
