Black Stars goalkeeper Benjamin Asare was among the notable personalities spotted at ShattaFest 2026, the birthday concert organised in honour of Ghanaian dancehall musician Shatta Wale at the Accra Sports Stadium on Saturday, October 17, 2026.
The goalkeeper’s appearance at the event attracted attention as thousands of fans gathered at the stadium to celebrate the musician and enjoy performances from the entertainment industry.
Asare, who represents Ghana at the international level, was seen among the attendees at the concert, which brought together music lovers, celebrities, football personalities and other public figures.
The event also reportedly attracted former Ghana international footballer Prince Tagoe, who joined other guests at the stadium to celebrate Shatta Wale. Their presence highlighted the connection between Ghana’s entertainment and sporting communities, with popular music events often drawing personalities from different fields.
Another notable figure spotted at the celebration was Lydia Yaako Donkor, Director-General of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service. Videos circulating online showed her at the event, where she was seen enjoying the music.
ShattaFest was organised as part of activities marking the birthday of Shatta Wale, whose real name is Charles Nii Armah Mensah. The musician remains one of Ghana’s prominent dancehall performers, known for his energetic stage performances and strong following among music fans.
The Accra Sports Stadium provided the venue for the large gathering, with attendees reportedly encouraged to wear white as part of the event’s dress code. The celebration was promoted as ShattaFest 2026, with ticketing facilitated through the Shaxi platform.
Asare’s presence at the concert offered fans an opportunity to see the Black Stars goalkeeper outside his usual football environment. His appearance also added to the list of public figures whose attendance helped draw attention to the birthday celebration.
The event brought together supporters of Shatta Wale and other attendees for a night centred on music, entertainment and birthday festivities. The gathering also reflected the appeal of large-scale concerts in Accra, where musicians can attract audiences extending beyond their core fan base.
Further details about Asare’s participation in the event were not available in the information reviewed for this report.
