Summary

Robert Klah, Head of Public Events and Communications at Charterhouse, disclosed that they are struggling to secure a befitting venue for this year's event. Speaking on Hitz FM about preparations for the awards ceremony slated for May 9, 2026, he said "the only thing left now is the venue." He also stated, "Unfortunately, the Grand Arena is not available. What I know is that the owners of the land would to have their place so we don't have access to it so we have to look for another venue."

The programme was held at the Grand Arena on the Accra International Conference Centre premises in previous years. Robert indicates that authorities overseeing the land on which the Grand Arena dome sits are requesting that they vacate the premises. The Grand Arena, currently the largest indoor event venue in Ghana, holds about 4,000 people. The Palms Convention Centre at Labadi, which has a capacity of about 2,500, is the next available option.

Creative industry stakeholders, including artiste manager Edem Mensah Tsotorme and host of Asempa Showbiz, Ernest Adu Kumi, say the absence of a larger venue for the TGMA may pose a major challenge for this year's event. Edem said, "We do not have an event space that can take the number of TGMA now so I wish from now to maybe the end of next week you go to the Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture with the Board."
