We build other people's nights for a living
Production, sound, staging, lighting and booking — all year, all over Accra. The festival is what we do with the profit.
What we do
Four things, done properly
We would rather do four things well than list twelve. Anything not on this list, we will tell you who in Accra does it better.
Service
Festival and concert production
From a 400-capacity courtyard show to a three-night build on Independence Square. We take the whole thing — permits, site plan, crew, stage, running order and the bit at the end where it all comes down again.

Service
Sound, staging and lighting
Our own line arrays, our own desks, our own moving heads, and engineers who have mixed every room in Accra worth mixing. Dry hire if you have a crew; wet hire if you would rather we brought one.

Service
Artist booking and touring
We represent nine acts and book about forty more a year. If you want a specific band on a specific night, we probably have their manager's number and an honest opinion about the fee.

Service
Brand events and activations
Launches, staff nights, sponsor activations at somebody else's festival. Same crew, same kit, and the same insistence that the music is good rather than merely loud.

Our own kit
We do not sub-hire the important parts
Everything below lives in our warehouse in Tema. It means we know its history, we can service it, and nobody can let you down the week before your show.
PA and monitors
Two 12-box line array hangs, eight subs, twelve wedges and two digital desks. Enough for four thousand people outdoors without borrowing anything.
Lighting
Twenty-four moving heads, forty LED pars, two hazers, six blinders and a console with an operator who has programmed it before.
Stage and truss
A 12×8m covered stage, three ground-support goalposts, barrier, ramps and a rigger with a current ticket.
Power and distribution
Two 100kVA silenced generators, distro, and enough cable to reach the far side of a square. Nothing on this list has ever run off a venue's ring main.
How it works
Four steps, no surprises
The same process for a four-hundred-capacity room and for a three-night build. Only the paperwork gets longer.
01
A call, not a form
Twenty minutes on the phone. Date, room, rough headcount, what the night is for. We will tell you there and then whether we are free and roughly what it costs.
02
One page, one number
A written quote inside three working days: crew, kit, transport, and the number at the bottom is the number you pay. Changes are re-quoted, never absorbed silently.
03
The advance
A site visit, a stage plan, an input list and a running order agreed with you and with every act. This is the part nobody sees and the part that decides how the night goes.
04
Show day
We are on site before the first truck. You get one person to talk to all day, and they do not also have another job that night.
Rooms we know without a site visit
Independence Square
Arts Centre courtyard
Alliance Française garden
+233 Jazz Bar
The Republic, Osu
Accra International Conference Centre
Bloombar, Osu
Untamed Empire, Tema
Labadi Beach
Front/Back, Osu
If yours is not here we will come and look at it, measure it and tell you honestly whether it will work. That visit is free and we have talked people out of rooms before.
The people who make it possible
Asked often
What clients ask first
What is Rhythm Festival?
Three nights of live Ghanaian music across three stages at Independence Square, Accra, run by Rhythm every December since 2014. Twenty-six acts this year, from highlife bands old enough to have played Independence to producers who have never released anything on physical media.
How do I pay, and can I pay at the gate?
MTN MoMo, Telecel Cash, card, or cash at our Adabraka office. Gate tickets are sold on the night if we have not sold out — the price is the same, but the queue is not.
What happens if it rains?
The Main Stage and The Yard both have covered stages and partial cover for the crowd; the Late Room is indoors. We have never cancelled a night, and if we ever have to, every pass rolls to the next edition or refunds in full within seven days.
Planning something
Tell us the date and we will tell you the truth
Twenty minutes on the phone is usually enough for both of us to know whether this is a good idea. We are on +233 30 274 1180, or WhatsApp on +233 24 118 6042.
04—06 December 2026
Three nights. Twenty-six acts. One wristband.
Independence Square, Accra. Season passes are on sale now and the Late Room sells out first, every year, without fail.
