Set for Easter Monday, April 6, 2026, the annual lakeside experience will once again transform Ankaase, on the shores of Lake Bosomtwe, into the ultimate party destination in the Ashanti Region.
Now in its seventh year, the Ankaase Lakeside Party has grown into one of the most prominent lake events in the Ashanti Region, consistently featuring some of the biggest names in Ghanaian music. Over the years, the stage has hosted stars such as Fameye, Strongman, S3fa, Eno Barony, Yaa Pono, Kweku Flick, and Yaw Tog, among others.
This year, fans made their voices heard and YFM listened. “Our listeners have spoken, and we’ve heard them loud and clear. The main artiste on the bill for the 2026 Ankaase Lakeside Party is Kweku Smoke,” Events Lead for Y102.5FM-Kumasi, Ernest Opoku stated.
