Victory Fest is back
Gospel lovers and fans can look forward to a great evening at the end of March.
The second instalment of Victory Fest is scheduled for Saturday, 30 March at Zoo Park with an exciting line-up of 18 Namibian gospel stars and five gospel artists from South Africa.
One of the organisers of the show, Franklin Newman told tjil that the success of the first show compelled them to make this event an annual show.
“We wanted to create a platform for gospel artists regardless of the music genre they do as long as the music is gospel.
“The first show we had was successful with over 500 people. There has been an awesome response and demand from the people,” said Newman.
He mentioned that the international acts are coming on the basis of friendship and were not paid.
He however admitted that it has been stressful putting together the list of the local artists because they have received a lot of requests but they do not have enough time to accommodate them all.
“Last year we took pride in starting on time. People who showed up around 22:00 found that the event was already over.
“We are trying to maintain being punctual because after all, it is a gospel show and some people come with their kids and their safety is very important to us,” he said. Newman promised an exchange of gospel by gospel singers from different backgrounds who have different experiences of life. “It is going to be magical.”
