FAMOUS author and preacher Bishop TD Jakes will headline the Essence Festival in Durban alongside MTN Joyous Celebration.
The festival will start on 26 September and end on 1 October and will take place at Ohlange Sports Ground in Inanda, near Durban.
This once in a lifetime meeting of musical giants comes after the gospel group’s successful collaboration with the bishop’s church choir last year.
Their collaboration resulted in a live DVD and CD titled Heal Our Land.
Lindelani Mkhize, the founder of the gospel group, said they were thrilled to work with the bishop again.
“We promise to deliver a show that will exceed exceptions,” he said.
The winners of the Gospel Icon Discovery competition will also make an appearance on stage.
The talent search was initiated by eThekwini parks, recreation and culture unit with the aim of helping new artists launch their careers.
This show will feature 2015 winner Sphesihle Radebe and last year’s winner, Sibongiseni Zikhali.
This year’s winners will be selected on 17 September.
Tickets are available at Computicket from R195 to R450.
