The annual event came to a halt in 2019, due to the COVID 19 pandemic and its subsequent effects. A news statement copied to GNA Entertainment explained that the event would be a fully-fledged multiple day festival, filled with more activities.

“I appreciate the overwhelming love and support by my fans and my region. “Ever since our break in 2019, I have been bombarded with messages to bring it back, and to show my love for my fans as well as my region, Edemfest is back, and it is going to be bigger than it was. “I ask fans and the region to continually support the festival by paying to attend in their numbers, I miss Edemfest and I can’t wait for it in 2023,” it said.
