Kojo Antwi Brings Highlife to Australia in Debut Easter Tour
Ghana’s music icon Kojo Antwi is set to make his long-awaited debut in Australia during the 2025 Easter celebrations, thrilling audiences with his signature Highlife and Afrobeat love songs. Though the maestro has performed in countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada, this will be his first tour down under. Scheduled for April 19 at Bonnyrigg Sports Club in Sydney, the concert will coincide with the global Christian observance of Easter, symbolizing a time of renewal and celebration. Kojo Antwi, affectionately known as “Mr. Music Man,” shared his excitement in a social media post, inviting fans to join him for a “Marathon of Love Songs.” His visit is expected to draw fans of Ghanaian descent, other African nationals, Australians, and global music lovers for a soulful and memorable evening.
As part of preparations for his tour, Kojo Antwi paid a courtesy visit to the Australian High Commissioner to Ghana, Berenice Owen-Jones. During the visit, the commissioner applauded the artist for being a cultural ambassador and expressed support for the tour. She noted that Kojo would be sharing “Ghana’s vibrant sound with the world,” highlighting the growing cultural ties between Ghana and Australia. The meeting underscored the role of music in fostering international relationships and enhancing mutual appreciation of diverse traditions. For many Ghanaians in Australia and fans abroad, the performance presents a rare opportunity to experience the maestro’s timeless classics live—songs that blend romantic lyricism with rich African rhythms.
Kojo Antwi’s concert is more than just a performance—it represents an important milestone in cross-cultural exchange through music. His tour aims to introduce Australian audiences to the richness of Ghanaian musical heritage while giving diaspora communities a sense of home during the Easter season. Beyond entertainment, the event is a platform for promoting cultural dialogue, tourism, and mutual understanding between two continents. The concert is expected to attract not only music lovers but also industry players and diplomats interested in deepening Ghana-Australia relations through the arts. With anticipation building ahead of the event, Kojo Antwi’s first-ever Australian tour promises to be a night of heartfelt melodies, powerful storytelling, and cultural celebration.
