This year’s Tidal Rave Beach Festival has come under intense criticism on social media.

Patrons have taken to social media to complain about a very late start, poor sound, indiscriminate parking, exorbitant ticket pricing and most prominent of all, there have been stories shared about attacks by robbers also known as ‘kwashey boys’.

Since the event yesterday, Saturday, 15 October 2022, at the Luxury Beach Resort, Bortianor, Kokrobite, Accra, the words ‘Tidal Rave’, ‘Kokrobite’ and ‘Kwashey’ have been trending on Twitter with App users mostly decrying lack of ample security.

#TidalRave was hella unsafe. Came across two people with guns. One of them fired his to ward off criminals trying to rob a lady on the road. Chale, police sef be very rare. Nobody was scanning those tickets to confirm they were valid. No scanners at the gate.
