Information surfacing on Twitter indicates that day 2 of the annual three-day music festival has been canceled with crowd control being cited as the reason.
According to various reports, Security personnel present could not control the large crowd that graced the event even though there were 3 performances still to go. The likes of Skepta, Rema, and Asake could not mount the stage due to this and this left several attendants frustrated.
Below are some tweets from the night:

The organizers & lead security personnels on the night declined the offer to speak on the matter upon request.
They say an official statement would be released.

I now understand why Mr. EAZI spent a lot of cash to boost security.
Look at what just happened at Afronation. And I don’t know why people who don’t have tickets dress up for a show. WHY?#Afronation2022 #AfroNationGhana

#AfroNationGhana just called off it’s concert blaming it on “security issues”due to massive crowd turnout. Do Fans deserve a restitution? pic.twitter.com/MY74LEX74F
