An impressive line-up of top of the bill Ghanaian musicians, will liven up Saturday night when the annual Joy FM Night with the Stars plays at the Accra International Conference Centre.

Thousands of patrons have yearly thronged the pre-Christmas bash, now in its eighth season, and organizers are expecting a full house when the MTN-sponsored event rocks the roofs.

On stage Saturday will be the irrepressible Kwaw (Abodam) Kesse, the industrious SAMINI, the destroyer himself, Castro as well as the crowd-pulling-Angelina-singing Praye (oh, they asked to tell you not to forget to pull your pants up when it’s down while dancing shooperu, salsa and mapouka).

And you will be looking out for the new hip-life hitters; Edem, Asem, R2Bees, Richie and Sarkodie, who will expect to bounce along with household names - Tic Tak, KK Fosu, Chemphe, Okyeame Kwame, Tinyy, 4X4, Five Five and Bradez.

What is more, there will be showers of gospel fanfare as Night with the Stars’ regular, Kwaku Gyasi, storms the stage with ‘gospel nightingale’ Christiana Love.

The Joy FM Night with the Stars which yearly features celebrated international performers is this year breaking with tradition to feature only locally brewed artistes, and organizers Joy 99.7FM say the move is to celebrate and highlight the many champions on the home front.

Tickets for the all-night-long bash are at GH¢40 and the gates as usual, open at 8pm.
