NewsGyakie Live returns on 12 December at Ghud Park, her first own show since December 2022
The singer last headlined her own concert on her birthday in 2022. In the three Decembers since, she released a debut album and passed 480 million Spotify streams across her credits.
Gyakie will headline Gyakie Live on Saturday 12 December 2026 at Ghud Park, near Accra Mall. She announced the date on GTV's Breakfast Show on 20 October and repeated it on Starr FM's Starr Drive the next day.
It is her first headline show of her own since Party Live with Gyakie at La Palm Royal Beach Hotel in Accra on 16 December 2022, which was also her birthday. An AI-written summary on X described the new show as a comeback "after a three-year hiatus". The outlets that reported the announcement did not give a length, and the gap between her two shows is closer to four years. What is true is that December 2023, 2024 and 2025 passed without a Gyakie Live.
What she released in that time
Apple Music lists 12 releases from Gyakie since that December 2022 show, including singles, features and her debut album, After Midnight, released on 29 August 2025 with 17 tracks. Her latest single, Your Body (Crazy), came out on 16 October 2026. Forbes Africa named her in its 30 Under 30 class of 2025.
On Spotify, songs carrying her name have passed 480.9 million streams in total. About 61 percent of that, 295.7 million, came from songs where she is the featured artist. The biggest is No Bad Vibes, a song by the Irish singer Jazzy that credits Gyakie, which has passed 241 million streams on its own.
Forever, her 2020 breakthrough, remains her best-known song. The original music video and the remix video with Omah Lay have more than 150 million YouTube views between them.
Why the stage went quiet
Asked on Starr FM why fans had waited, Gyakie said: "We didn't do the last two years, honestly, because we're working on the album." She added that this year was "the perfect year" to bring the Gyakie Live concept back.
The concert falls four days before her birthday on 16 December. Ghud Park has hosted other December headline nights, including Kweku Smoke's The Revival in December 2024 and King Promise's PromiseLand. Ticket prices, guest acts and the venue's capacity have not been announced.
This is not a comeback. She never left, she's coming to collect. But a concert is a different scoreboard: a playlist gives you streams, only a fan buys a ticket. And we have to stop calling the years an artist spends making an album a "hiatus". Retire that word.
