In Nigeria, only a few gospel platforms outside church have garnered great interdenominational following. 'The Experience', an annual gospel concert organised by HOUSE ON THE ROCK is one of such and is regarded as the largest musical concert in Africa with an attendance of over a quarter million . For six years now, the event has been running quite successfully and has brought in some of the biggest international gospel artistes to perform alongside their Nigerian counterparts.
Yes, we bring you good news. This year's edition of 'The Experience' is just around the corner and we are glad to inform you that some gospel greats have already been confirmed for the event. It is billed to hold on Friday, December 2, 2011 at the Expo Centre of the New Eko Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos.
Some of the artistes billed to perform at this year’s outing include Don Moen, Fred Hammond, Detrick Haddon, Isreal Houghton, Chevelle Franklyn, Soweto Spiritual singers, Mike Aremu, Sammie Okposo, Wale Adenuga, Micah Stampley, Chosen Tarbernacle Choir, etc. With such a remarkable line up, it will indeed be a mind-blowing experience.
‘The Experience’ is an annual music concert which boasts attendance of a cross section of people drawn from virtually all sectors of the economy who come together in an ambience of divine praise and worship and is seen, as stated by the organizers, as ‘a bridge of reconciliation, and a beacon of light and hope to the much afflicted and often maligned continent of Africa’.
The inter-denominational gospel concert which is convened and hosted by House on the Rock founder and Senior Pastor, Paul Adefarasin, has featured some of the biggest names in music internationally and locally over time including Don Moen, Ron Kenoly, Kirk Franklin, Sammie Okposo, Rooftop MCs, amongst a host of other notable gospel music singers.
