Davido brought the curtain down on Tidal Rave 2026 at the La Palm Royal Beach Hotel in Accra on Saturday, 14 November, closing a day-long beach festival that also featured Kwesi Arthur, Mr Drew, Kweku Smoke and Lasmid. “What a Night!! @davido brought fire to the stage!” the festival’s official account wrote in a post on X as the night wound down.
The Nigerian star had set the tone hours earlier. In a post on X on Saturday, he told his followers: “Accra we rave tonight !”
Kweku Smoke brings out Lasmid
Before Davido took over, Kweku Smoke had one of the evening’s standout sets. Clips shared by Dek360Ghana showed the rapper performing his hit “Bombele” to a crowd that sang along, and the festival later shared a moment from his set in which Lasmid joined him on stage. The two have history together on record, including their collaboration “Faith”.
Kwesi Arthur, hailed by the organisers as “King Arthur”, opened the headline stretch, while Mr Drew, a late addition to the bill, got the crowd moving with songs including “Steeze”. Blogger and broadcaster Ameyaw Debrah’s AmeyawTV was also among those sharing live clips from the festival floor.
No Raver Left Behind
This year’s edition, curated by EchoHouse, ran under the theme “No Raver Left Behind”, a nod to friendship and attending with your squad. As reported by GhanaWeb when the line-up was unveiled, EchoHouse CEO Beryl Agyekum Ayaaba said the festival has “always been about bringing young people together through experiences that stay with them”.
Davido’s booking as headliner, which we reported on 5 November, followed Ayra Starr’s turn as the festival’s international headliner last year. With Tidal Rave now done, Accra’s packed December concert calendar is just around the corner.
