Ghanaian rapper M.anifest celebrates a decade of his acclaimed album ‘Nowhere Cool’ with a live concert at the Accra Polo Club on Saturday, October 24, 2026.
The event, dubbed ‘Nowhere Cool at 10 Live Experience’, brings together fans, fellow musicians and guest performers to honour the album, which features 14 tracks and remains an important part of the rapper’s musical journey.
The show opens with Kwartengg, who sets the tone for the evening. RCee follows with a performance of Agenda, bringing his Highlife sound to the stage, while Anabel Rose adds a different feel to the event with her performance.
Arathejay also takes the stage with songs from his Christo Disco project, sharing his Christian message through music.
At about 9pm, M.anifest makes his entrance to loud cheers from the crowd. He opens his set with BEAR, a track from Nowhere Cool, as fans sing along to the lyrics. His entrance also draws attention, with the rapper pushing a shopping cart labelled “Shopping for Jesus”.
He continues with a selection of songs from the album, including Invisible, Hand Dey Go, Hand Dey Come, Palm Wine and Whisky, Sugar, Simple Love, Time No Dey, Ozymandias and Goodbye.
The performances take fans back to the album’s early days, as they sing along to songs that have remained part of M.anifest’s catalogue over the past decade.
The concert also features appearances by Worlasi, Samini, Kwabena Kwabena and Ko-Jo Cue, who join M.anifest on stage for special performances.
One of the evening’s highlights comes when Cina Soul joins him to perform ‘Nowhere Cool’ and ‘Now Here Cool’. She recalls being at university when the song is recorded and says she is grateful to M.anifest for giving her the opportunity to be part of the project before she gains wider recognition.
M.anifest also gives fans a preview of Road Rage, an upcoming song featuring Black Sherif, which is expected to be released soon.
After performing the album’s tracks, he moves on to other songs, including Me Ne Woa, featuring King Promise, and No Shortayt to Heaven, featuring Obrafour.
The concert ends shortly after 10pm, bringing the celebration of Nowhere Cool to a close and giving fans an opportunity to revisit the music that has shaped a significant chapter of M.anifest’s career.
