- The 2025 Rapperholic concert in Kumasi will take place at Baba Yara Sports Stadium on September 27.
Sarkodie has opened up about the difficulties of preparing for his annual Rapperholic concerts, explaining that deciding which songs to perform is a major challenge. With a massive catalog of hits accumulated over the years, the rapper finds it impossible to satisfy every fan in one night.
The Sarkcess Music founder revealed that while audiences expect a lineup of chart-toppers, performing every popular track during a single show is unrealistic. Instead, he focuses on creating a balance between the crowd-pleasers and songs that are less frequently performed, offering fans a mix of familiarity and novelty.
This year, his official DJ, Mensah, suggested adding a selection of older tracks that haven’t been featured in recent shows. Sarkodie also considered feedback from fans to ensure the concert includes the songs that are most anticipated.
The 2025 Kumasi edition of Rapperholic is set to take place at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on September 27. Fans can expect a show that blends iconic hits with rare gems, creating a unique experience that honors both longtime supporters and new listeners.
