Alliance Française set for Future Fest-Electronic Music Festival

Alliance Française Accra brings the second edition of the Electronic music Festival.

This year it has been rebranded as Future Fest with international and local bands and DJs who would electrify Accra and get heads nodding and feet tapping.

This time, we have Say Yes Dog (from Luxembourg) and Dj Débruit (from France) on board as the international guest.
