The countdown to Ghana’s biggest celebration of DJ excellence has begun, as the Guinness Ghana DJ Awards 2026 is set to officially launch on Saturday, August 1, 2026.
Powered by Smirnoff, the launch event will mark the beginning of Ghana’s official DJ season and set the tone for months of activities leading up to the main awards ceremony.
The event, scheduled to take place at Eden Gardens Hotel, will unveil the vision for the 2026 edition, introduce this year’s theme and announce the calendar of programmes planned for the season.
The activities will include industry engagements, educational initiatives, performances, activations and competitive events designed to celebrate the DJs and creatives who continue to influence Ghana’s music and entertainment industry.
This year’s edition comes with a renewed partnership between Guinness Ghana and the Ghana DJ Awards, reinforcing their shared commitment to promoting DJ culture, recognising excellence and creating more opportunities for players within Ghana’s creative economy.
Over the years, the Guinness Ghana DJ Awards has evolved beyond a traditional awards ceremony to become a respected platform that highlights the talent, dedication and creativity of DJs who shape the country’s sound and entertainment culture.
Produced by Merqury Republic, the awards continue to provide a major platform for recognising DJs whose contributions drive Ghana’s vibrant music scene.
The 2026 season follows a successful previous edition, where DJ Sly King was crowned DJ of the Year 2025 after being recognised for his creativity, consistency and influence within the industry.
As the new season begins, organisers say the Guinness Ghana DJ Awards remains committed to discovering, celebrating and elevating the next generation of DJ talents while strengthening the role of DJs within Ghana’s creative economy.
The official launch on August 1 will serve as the first chapter of a journey that will eventually culminate in the celebration and crowning of Ghana’s finest DJs.
Industry stakeholders, media representatives, partners and music lovers are expected to follow the activities as the awards platform rolls out nationwide engagements aimed at placing DJs at the centre of Ghana’s entertainment conversation.
Further details, including the official theme, nomination process, event calendar and other key announcements, will be revealed during the launch event.
