WatsUp On Campus hits 15 universities in 2026 with pan-African expansion
WatsUp TV has announced the expansion of its flagship tertiary activation project, WatsUp On Campus, which will visit fifteen universities and tertiary institutions across Ghana and beyond in 2026, following two successful editions at the University of Professional Studies, Accra, and the Regional Maritime University.
The initiative, which has established itself as one of the leading youth engagement and entertainment platforms on the continent, kicked off with the UPSA edition in April 2026, followed by the Regional Maritime University edition in May 2026. The RMU edition attracted an impressive lineup of some of Ghana's biggest music stars, including Medikal, Kelvyn Boy, Lali & Lola and Showboy, delivering unforgettable performances and creating memorable experiences for students and the campus community.
Next stop: UNIMAC
The next stop for the WatsUp On Campus tour is UNIMAC, the University of Media, Arts and Communication, formerly known as the Ghana Institute of Journalism (GIJ), where students can expect another exciting blend of music, entertainment, networking and youth-centred engagement.
Beyond Ghana, WatsUp TV is also preparing to take the WatsUp On Campus experience to selected universities in other African countries as part of its vision to create a truly pan-African youth platform that celebrates talent, culture, innovation and student excellence.
A movement, not just an event
Speaking on the initiative, WatsUp TV described WatsUp On Campus as more than just a campus event.
"WatsUp On Campus is a movement designed to connect with the next generation of leaders, creators, entrepreneurs and entertainment consumers. Our goal is to bring world-class experiences directly to students while creating opportunities for brands, artists and young people to engage meaningfully. This year, we are raising the bar by visiting more campuses and expanding beyond Ghana's borders," the statement read.
Africa's biggest artists on campus
As part of the 2026 tour, WatsUp TV has revealed plans to feature some of Africa's biggest and top-charting artists across the various campuses, giving students exclusive access to performances from some of the continent's most sought-after entertainers.
In 2025, WatsUp On Campus saw electrifying performances at schools including Accra Technical University, the University of Health and Allied Sciences, Cape Coast Technical University, the University of Ghana, Legon, the University of Energy and Natural Resources, Koforidua Technical University and UNIMAC.
More than music
The project will also feature brand activations, talent showcases, networking opportunities, content creation sessions, career discussions and other engaging activities tailored to the student audience.
With millions of viewers and followers across television and digital platforms, WatsUp TV continues to position itself as one of Africa's leading youth-focused media brands, committed to empowering and celebrating young people across the continent.
Further campus announcements, artist lineups and event dates will be released in the coming weeks and announced on WatsUp On Campus social media platforms. Students and fans are encouraged to follow the official channels for updates on when the tour will arrive at their institution.
