TGMA 2025 Red Carpet Access Limited to Invite-Only Guests

The red carpet has always been the heartbeat of major award shows, where glitz meets glamour, and stars make their grand entrance in unforgettable style.

The Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA) is no exception. For the past 26 years, it has seen a parade of musicians, actors, media moguls, and fashion-forward personalities making bold statements on the iconic carpet. And if history is anything to go by, this year will be no different. However, things are about to change—dramatically.

Organisers of the 26th TGMA are shaking things up with a new set of rules aimed at restoring order and class to the red carpet experience. For the first time, walking the main red carpet will be by invitation only.

This means that only officially selected celebrities and dignitaries will be allowed to participate in the highly-anticipated “Who are you wearing?” segment, which will be broadcast live on television. To manage the flow and elevate the experience, there will now be two separate red carpet sessions: one for general media interviews and photoshoots, and a more exclusive main red carpet for televised appearances.

According to the organisers, this new approach is meant to bring “sanity and orderliness” to the process, which in previous years has faced criticism for being overcrowded and lacking production control.

For years, fans and critics alike have questioned why certain “celebrities” made it to the red carpet while others—perhaps more relevant—were left out or rushed through. Others have lamented the occasional lack of fashion polish, with some outfits making headlines for all the wrong reasons.

But with this refined system, the TGMA is promising a more focused and elevated red carpet experience—one that matches the prestige of the awards night itself.

The 2025 Telecel Ghana Music Awards is scheduled for Saturday, May 10, 2025, at the Grand Arena of the Accra International Conference Centre. Produced by Charterhouse, the prestigious event is proudly supported by Guinness, British Council, Close-Up, KPMG, and TV3, and powered by Telecel – connecting energies.

With tighter control and a spotlight on quality over quantity, this year’s TGMA red carpet might just be the most iconic yet.
