The official artiste lineup for the 2017 Ghana Meets Naija is yet

to be released, organizers, Empire, have said.

Earlier reports communicated a fine list of artistes penciled for

this year’s event but Empire, who are holding the event for the

seventh year, say they are yet to officially communicate the

complete list.

“We are still in talks with some and we are hopeful that in the

next few days, we will be able to communicate the final list,” an

Empire official says.

Sticking to the event’s theme and longstanding tradition of

pairing artistes from Nigeria and Ghana to a night’s celebration

of music, this year’s would also feature the best of the two

countries.

Empire adds that the talks have advanced to a point where they

feel confident they are getting almost all the acts they want for

the show.

“We have had extensive negotiations and cannot wait to let

people in on our final list. It is the best you can have currently

from the two countries.”

In its 7 th year, the Ghana Meets Naija concert is the biggest

concert in the region that brings artistes from the two countries

together.

Usually oversubscribed, it has over the years hosted the likes

of Wizkid, The Mavins headed by Don Jazzy, Tiwa Savage,

Sarkodie, and Shatta Wale among a tall list of A-List acts.

This year’s event has uniBank as headline sponsor.

The 7 th Ghana Meets Naija takes place in May.
