South Africa's most loved gospel ensemble, Joyous Celebration, is pushing the envelope again this year with the launch of its Joyous Easter MegaFest at the Durban ICC.
Twenty-seven albums, multiple awards, 26 national, intercontinental and international shows, and many tours later, MTN Joyous Celebration returns with a bang this season as they demonstrate their tenacity and determination to give their fans and supporters the best they can offer.
The show will take place from April 7 to 9.
“We are all about new beginnings and this festival marks a new beginning for us as a group. For years, our fans, supporters and music lovers have associated Easter weekend with Joyous in Joburg. The support has been incredible and we know some may feel a tad disappointed about the change. We assure our followers this move is a start of something new and fresh as we build up to our next milestone celebration, but also affords our supporters and the broader Joyous family a different yet familiar experience,” said founding member Lindelani Mkhize.
The Joyous Easter MegaFest will be a three-day event, giving festivalgoers an experience like no other.
On Good Friday, MTN Joyous Celebration will take to the stage as they launch their 27th instalment, recorded last year at Emperors Palace and with two offerings: Hope & Victory.
The second day brings a fresh take on gospel.
“We thought of ways to go beyond our normal offering and broaden the experience by adding this exciting leg to our Easter festivities. On Saturday night we will stage our first Gospel meets Soul & Jazz Supper Club. A banquet dinner set up, where guests will be treated to the sounds of gospel, infused with soul and jazz, presented by a Joyous ensemble and accompanied by good food and drinks. We have always taken pride in having something for everyone in our offering and this year we felt the need to up the bar and be bold. We urge lovers of great music to come and experience a Joyous presentation like no other”, Mkhize said.
To close off the Mega weekend, MTN Joyous Celebration will present an Easter Sunday celebration with the help of some of their friends in the industry who will grace the same stage with the Joyous & Friends concert.
