“As stated, it’s a Pre-Easter Prayer Gospel Festival. One of the best expectations from the host of award-winning artists is the super line-up. They will offer their best renditions and prayer for the forthcoming Easter holidays in a week’s time. That’s the essence of the show to combine gospel excellence on one stage and preparing for the Easter holidays, which is a long weekend of worship in their respective places,” said Big Fish.
