After a year of performing internationally and sharing her music with audiences around the world, Ghanaian-American artist Amaarae is returning home. <\/p>\n

She will mark her homecoming with The Blackout: Amaarae Homecoming Concert<\/em> on Tuesday, 6th January 2026 at The Underbridge Annex in Accra. The event will also conclude her Black Star<\/em> world tour.<\/p>\n

The concert will feature Amaarae\u2019s distinctive genre-blending sound, alongside visual and performance elements. In a nod to her roots, she has teamed up with Accra-based iMullar Sound System, a collective that has played a key role in shaping the city\u2019s electronic, alternative, and experimental music scene. <\/p>\n
