Ghana’s music scene continues to shine brighter on the global stage, and right now, all eyes (and ears) are on twin brothers Michael and Tony Boafo better known as DopeNation.
On February 4, 2026, the dynamic producers, songwriters, and performers dropped a major bombshell via their official X account: their first-ever Europe tour is officially in the works.
“Get ready to dance Europe !! We are coming to the City near you. Dates to be announced soon “
The post featured a sleek promotional graphic with iconic London Eye visuals in the background — a clear hint that the UK (and likely London) will be high on the itinerary. Fans immediately flooded the replies with hype, location guesses, and demands for cities across the continent.
From Viral Sensation to Chart Success
This tour announcement arrives at the perfect moment. Their October 2025 release “Kakalika“ (a self-produced Ghanapiano banger blending Afrobeats, Amapiano grooves, and hip-hop swagger) has been unstoppable:
- It debuted at No. 13 on the Official UK Afrobeats Chart (week of January 31–February 6, 2026).
- It entered the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart at No. 35 — marking DopeNation’s first-ever appearance on the prestigious U.S. list.
- The track has exploded on TikTok and other platforms, spawning viral dance challenges and earning shout-outs from heavyweights like Sarkodie, who called it a certified banger.
Lyrics celebrating confidence, resilience, and “doing them like juju” have resonated far beyond Ghana, turning “Kakalika” into an infectious street anthem that’s now crossing oceans.
Why This Tour Feels Like a Milestone
DopeNation has long been a force in Ghanaian music delivering hits like “Eish” and consistently pushing the Ghanapiano sound they helped popularize. But 2026 marks their biggest international leap yet:
- Chart entries in two major Western markets.
- Growing diaspora demand (especially in the UK, Netherlands, Germany, and other countries with strong Ghanaian communities).
- The perfect timing to export the high-energy, dance-floor-ready live show that has packed venues back home.
While exact dates and cities remain under wraps, the early visual nod to London suggests the tour will likely hit major European hubs with vibrant Afrobeat scenes: London, Manchester, Amsterdam, Berlin, Paris, and possibly others.
What Fans Are Saying
The replies under the announcement post show pure excitement:
- Diaspora Ghanaians tagging friends in different countries.
- Calls for specific cities (“Please come to Amsterdam!” “Berlin needs this energy!”).
- Jokes about preparing dance moves for the “Kakalika” queue challenges already going viral.
One fan summed it up perfectly: the twins are ready to give Europe that same unmatchable Ghanapiano vibe that’s taken over Accra streets and global playlists.
DopeNation isn’t just touring they’re carrying Ghana’s new wave on their shoulders. With “Kakalika” still climbing charts and social feeds, this Europe run has all the ingredients to become one of the breakout Afrobeats/Ghanapiano moments of 2026.
Stay locked on @GhDopeNation for official dates, venues, and ticket info. In the meantime, if you haven’t already, stream “Kakalika,” learn the dance, and get ready Europe, the twins are coming to turn up the temperature.
