Gospel music feast to light up the stage

Experience freedom through music and express who you are with MTN Joyous Celebration this Easter.

MTN Joyous Celebration will wow audiences at Carnival City’s Big Top Arena this Easter.

Carnival City’s Big Top Arena will be abuzz yet again this Easter weekend as the multiple award-winning gospel ensemble MTN Joyous Celebration launch its 23rd album tour.

This gospel music feast will take place on April 19, 20 and 21.

When the founders of this world-acclaimed group conceived their very first show in 1994, it was to celebrate South Africa’s smooth transition to democracy.

In 2019, their bold and daring 23rd offering is filled with creative elements and adventurous musical expression, driven by the two young musical directors Mnqobi Nxumalo and Sphiwe Ngcobo.

Don’t miss gospel music at its best in MTN Joyous Celebration this Easter.

MTN Joyous Celebration’s music has become a soundtrack in the lives of many South Africans over the years.

People are able to remember specific times when specific songs carried them through hard times in their lives, as well as songs that helped them celebrate good times.

Pastor Mthunzi Namba said, “The Joyous 23 show, like previous shows, has something for everyone.

“It’s fresh and unique, but still offers the ‘old’ Joyous sound even after we have experimented and included new and innovative elements.

“To remain relevant for over 20 years in an industry that’s so competitive has been a challenge, but we have managed to keep going because of the support of our fans and by the grace of God.”

The award-winning musical ensemble has had a remarkable journey with their official sponsor, MTN, with the company being a part of the Joyous family for 13 years.

Jacqui O’Sullivan, executive for corporate affairs at MTN, said, “We are excited and looking forward to being part of this year’s MTN Joyous Celebration Tour 23, which kicks off during the Easter weekend.”
