MoMo Fest 2026: Shatta Wale to Rock Accra Stadium on October 17

MobileMoney Fintech Ltd (MMFL) and Ghanaian dancehall sensation Shatta Wale are collaborating to host "MoMo Fest 2026" at Accra Sports Stadium on October 17. Scheduled to commence at 6 p.m., the event is anticipated to draw thousands of music aficionados and Shatta Movement members for a night filled with energetic performances, cultural festivities, and customer interaction.

MMFL is utilizing Ghana's lively entertainment sector to strengthen customer bonds and promote financial inclusion by merging music, entertainment, and digital financial advancements. The promotional campaign, featuring the mantra "Accra, Shatta Wale come like kakai," has set the stage for the dancehall superstar's eagerly awaited performance at the stadium.

In addition to entertainment, MoMo Fest 2026 aims to serve as an interactive platform where customers can explore cutting-edge payment methods and acknowledge the rising significance of mobile money in daily transactions. The concert continues the successful collaboration between MMFL and Shatta Wale from Shatta Fest 2025, which united thousands of music lovers at Independence Square in Accra.

The partnership showcased how music and entertainment could effectively engage young people and encourage the acceptance of digital financial services. Following the event, Shatta Wale and his management team expressed gratitude to MMFL for the partnership and support. The CEO of MMFL, Shaibu Haruna, praised the artist for his performance and his role in empowering young people through entertainment.

Shatta Wale, in turn, indicated his intention to make the festival an annual event and extend its reach to other regions of Ghana and beyond. He emphasized the partnership's potential to foster youth empowerment, promote entrepreneurship, and encourage the adoption of cashless transactions. Explaining the motivation behind the 2025 celebration, Shatta Wale stated: "It's all about celebrating the hard work, the culture, and the people who make Ghana what it is."

His return to the MoMo Fest stage is anticipated to further strengthen the connection between entertainment and digital financial innovation while offering fans another chance to celebrate Ghanaian music and culture. Over the years, MoMo Fest has transformed from a musical festivity into a flagship customer engagement initiative by MTN MoMo.

It combines entertainment, cultural activities, and interactive digital financial experiences, allowing MMFL to express gratitude to its patrons and educate the public on the advantages of digital payments and other mobile financial services. The 2026 edition is expected to further this objective by creating an atmosphere where entertainment and technology unite to promote financial awareness and customer participation.

Patrons are encouraged to download and explore the MoMo App on Google Play and Apple’s App Store, offering convenient and secure digital transactions before and during the event. The app provides users with easy access to various financial services via their smartphones, facilitating smoother everyday transactions. Several corporate entities have also joined MoMo Fest 2026, highlighting the expanding collaboration between the entertainment and business sectors.
