The first event dubbed the ‘Independence Edition’ will take place on Monday, March 5, 2018 at the National Theatre with performances from music legend such as Kojo Antwi, Amandzeba, MzVee, among others.

A third exciting event will be held on Saturday on Farmers’ Day on December 1, 2018.
Speaking about the MTN Music Festival, the Acting Chief Marketing Officer of MTN, Noel Kojo Ganson, said, “The MTN Music Festival is a continuous demonstration of how we continue to brighten the lives of our subscribers and Ghanaians as a whole and how we find new ways of expressing our love for Ghanaian music. The festival will also generate local digital content and preserve the cultural heritage of our country.”
“More importantly, we want people to experience what it means to have a digitally connected lifestyle. In that regard, tickets to the concerts will be made available for purchase via MTN Mobile Money while VIP guests will receive digital e-card invitations. The songs and videos by the music stars will be available for download on our MTN
Play platform and on the Caller Ring Back Tone (CRBT) service. “Through these digital interventions, we hope to preserve the works of
our stars and generate revenue for them,” he added.
The MTN Music Festival follows other initiatives undertaken by MTN to support the growth of the entertainment and creative arts industry in Ghana. Other creations by MTN include the MTN Hitmaker and MTN Regional Festivals.
