Joy FM’s much-anticipated 90s Jam once again transformed Pleasant Gardens in Dzorwulu into a vibrant throwback paradise, delivering an electrifying celebration of rhythm, nostalgia, and timeless music. What has become one of Ghana's most anticipated annual events, the 2026 edition, specifically held on Friday, January 2, 2026, cemented its status as a definitive post-New Year celebration in the capital. The event, a flagship brand of Joy FM, a subsidiary of The Multimedia Group, drew massive, sold-out crowds, filling every inch of the sprawling outdoor space and pushing the venue to its absolute limit with hundreds of revellers.

The star-studded entertainment roster included Joy FM’s powerhouse lineup of veteran entertainers: DJ Black, the 'Master of the Decks', Lexis Bill, Nii Ayi Tagoe, and Kofi Hayford, who ensured flawless transitions and high-energy hype until the break of dawn.
