Davido, Kwesi Arthur, Kweku Smoke, Lasmid, others billed for 2026 Tidal Rave Festival

It’s another year and Tidal Rave Festival is taking over the shores of Accra with hitmakers Davido, Kwesi Arthur, Kweku Smoke, Lasmid and other amazing artistes, MCs and DJs. Next Saturday, Africa’s biggest beach festival, Tidal Rave Festival, is getting ready to welcome Ravers to the beach for another exciting experience on 14th November, 2026. The festival, which will be held at La Palm Royal Beach Hotel, is being curated with the theme “No Raver Left Behind”, with tickets available at www.tidalravefestival.com.

“Every friend group has its characters. The one who starts the plans, the one who gets everyone on board, the one who handles the food, and the one who makes sure nobody misses out. Different personalities, different interests, but somehow, they always find their way into the same plan. And when the memories are made, everyone has a story to tell,” Awo Somuah-Ampadu, Regional Lead of Echo Live at EchoHouse, said.

That is the beauty of experiencing things together. The music, the laughter, the unexpected moments and the stories that follow become part of a shared history. It is often the people standing beside us who make an experience worth remembering. The theme puts friendship and togetherness at the heart of the festival, celebrating the people who make the experience what it is.

From the music and fashion to creativity and the shared moments in between, Tidal Rave is inviting Ravers to bring their people along and make this year’s edition one to remember together. “Tidal Rave has always been about bringing young people together through experiences that stay with them. With #NoRaverLeftBehind, we want to put the friendships behind those experiences in the spotlight.

We want Ravers to look forward to the festival not only because of what they will see or do, but because of who they will share it with. That sense of togetherness is central to what we are creating this year,” said Beryl Agyekum Ayaaba, CEO of EchoHouse, curators of Tidal Rave Festival. Bringing the Squad Into the Experience From group activities and shared spaces to opportunities to capture moments with friends, the intention is to make the experience feel personal to every Raver while bringing different groups together under one shared identity.

The brands joining Tidal Rave are part of that wider experience, each bringing a different presence to the festival. Johnnie Walker returns with its own dedicated brand experience, adding another dimension to the Tidal Rave journey for Ravers to discover and enjoy with their squads. Blue Jeans joins the squad this year, bringing the energy that keeps Ravers moving, from the first beat to the final dance.

Coca-Cola returns as a familiar part of the Tidal Rave experience, while Nescafé and *959# joins the mix, adding to the collection of brand partners coming together for this year’s festival. Across the experience, these partnerships form part of the wider environment in which Ravers can connect, discover and enjoy the day with their people. Other brand partners include Pepsodent, and Munchee.

“We want to think about Tidal Rave from the perspective of the Ravers coming with their friends. How do they spend the day together? What can they discover, take part in and remember afterwards? Those questions are informing how we approach the festival experience this year. #NoRaverLeftBehind means creating more opportunities for people to feel included, participate together and make the day their own,” Awo Somuah-Ampadu added.

With #NoRaverLeftBehind, Tidal Rave 2026 is inviting every Raver to think beyond making individual plans and urging them to start bringing their people into the picture. Whether it is the squad that has attended together for years or the group experiencing Tidal Rave for the first time, the idea remains the same: the experience is better when everyone gets to be part of it.

On November 14, La Palm Royal Beach Hotel will welcome Ravers for another edition of Tidal Rave, with friendship, shared experiences and a sense of belonging at the heart of the festival.
