This year’s edition of the much-awaited Guinness Ghana DJ Awards will take place on November 29, 2025, at the Palms Convention Centre in Accra.
This year’s event marks the 13th edition of the awards scheme, and promises to present a fascinating experience at the annual assembly of the finest disc jockeys (DJs) in every part of Ghana and beyond.
Its theme, ‘Shake the Floor,’ has resonated with many who prioritise the priceless and valuable role of DJs.
‘Shake the Floor’ captures the very essence of what the awards represent — a high-energy celebration of music’s power to bring people together, break boundaries, and create unforgettable moments. It also underscores the invaluable contributions of DJs to the evolution of music, arts, and African culture.
The awards ceremony, which is expected to bring together the best of Ghana and international DJs to celebrate the event with music fans, will be telecast live on all social media platforms.
Organised by Merqury Republic, proudly sponsored by the country’s leading total beverage company, Guinness Ghana and powered by Smirnoff, the prestigious awards ceremony has grown over the past 12 years into an international celebration of DJ culture.
The platform has consistently showcased the diverse talents of DJs in Ghana and from around the world, including the USA, Denmark, Brazil, the UK, South Africa, and France.
The 2025 Guinness Ghana DJ Awards has already confirmed more than half-a-dozen performances on this year’s stage, many of whom will be outdoored at the launch of this year’s event on July 12.
Meanwhile, the 12th edition saw performances from Ghana’s finest DJs including DJ Lord OTB, DJ Sonatty, DJ Shiwaawa, and DJ Ikon.
The night also witnessed memorable performances from Edem, Merqury Quaye, Guru, Andy Dosty, DJ Nyce and Keche.
Innovation takes centre stage at this year’s edition, with the introduction of a sound clash (reggae DJ battle) between two of Ghana’s revered sound clash groups. This segment, which upholds Jamaican music culture in high esteem, is bound to elevate the excitement of patrons who would throng the Palms Convention Centre for the 2025 Guinness Ghana DJ Awards.
As Ghana and the world anticipate November 29, a series of signature pre-event activations such as the nationwide tour, Pub Fest, Ghana DJ Clinic, Ladies Concert, and Nominees Jam, are all set to deepen engagement between fans and DJs across the country. The full itinerary will be released in the coming weeks.
