The Koffi Live in Gulu City Concert, which was scheduled for Friday, 9 October 2026, has been postponed after Uganda’s Ministry of Health restricted the entry of Congolese musician Koffi Olomide and his band in response to an ongoing Ebola-related travel advisory affecting travellers from the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The concert was expected to take place at the Northern Pearl Hotel Garden in Gulu City, attracting music fans from Gulu and other parts of Northern Uganda. In a statement issued on 7 October, organisers Openmic said they supported the government’s public health measures and recognised the importance of protecting Ugandans, visitors and the wider community.
“Openmic, regrets to announce the postponement of the Koffi Live in Gulu City Concert, which was scheduled for, Friday 9 October 2026 at Northern Pearl Hotel Garden, Gulu City,” the statement said. “The postponement follows the decision by Ministry of Health to restrict the entry of Koffi Olomide and his band from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) in light of the ongoing Ebola-related travel advisory affecting travellers from the DRC.”
