Drela to make main-stage debut at BHIM Festival 2025

BHIM Festival has announced Nigerian Afrofusion artiste Drela as a confirmed main stage performer for its highly anticipated 10th Anniversary edition, scheduled for December 26, 2025, at the Accra Sports Stadium.

The announcement follows Drela’s successful collaboration with Stonebwoy on the afro-dancehall record Dem Dead,” a track that strengthened his visibility across West Africa and positioned him as one of the region’s rising cross-genre voices. His inclusion on the BHIM Festival main stage marks a significant milestone in his career and underscores the festival’s commitment to showcasing diverse African sounds.

Drela’s debut performance on the main stage is expected to bring a fusion of Afrobeats, dancehall, and contemporary African rhythms, aligning with BHIM Festival’s African-Caribbean identity. Organizers revealed the booking via the official BHIM Festival social media platforms, confirming his appearance on the festival’s biggest night.

The 10th Anniversary edition themed: ” A Decade of Dominance/BHIM,” is shaping up to be a landmark celebration, with both international and African artistes featured across multiple stages.

With more performers yet to be announced, Drela’s addition further elevates anticipation for the December event as fans look forward to a night of music, culture, and cross-border collaboration at the Accra Sports Stadium.
