Gospel Music Tb
THE EXPERIENCE 2008
Nine international gospel artistes are today set to storm the Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS), Onikan Lagos for the biggest gospel music concert in Africa.
Some of the gospel artistes who would be featuring from the international front, includes, America’s Mary Mary, Lyrical Bassist Fred Hammond, Don Moen, Kirk Franklin, Israel Houghton, Donnie McClurkin, Kurt Carr, Tye Tribbett, and Chevelle Franklin, while ‘Dekunle Fuji, and rave of the moment group Midnight Crew (MNC) would be representing Nigeria.
The annual concert which started in 2006 is expected to attract over 400,000 people this year. It would be recalled that more than 250,000 people from within and outside Nigeria were estimated to have graced the event last year.
Reports have it that with barely 8 hours to kick off of the concert, people have started trooping into the venue.
Meanwhile a road show to prepare people for what to expect at the main event had already taken place during the week.
Concert goers will be thrilled to discover that at ‘The Experience’ 2008, the organizers have strategically repositioned the main stage so that the Tafawa Balewa Square can accomodate many more people.
This year both sides of the gallery in the main bowl of the TBS would be used. In addition to both galleries, there will be seating on the floor space of the TBS. Furthermore in order to create more seating space, steel beam risers have been constructed to accommodate a couple more thousand attendees; and if you don’t make it into the Tafawa Balewa Square you will be able to enjoy the concert from the Cricket pitch that is adjacent to the main bowl of TBS.
In the event that you run out of cash for all your intended purchases, provision has also been made for secured automated cash points (ATM) in the venue.
For health emergencies, five medical canopies staffed with a retinue of medical officials equipped to provide most emergency medical services have been provided for.
There are several allotted parking spaces around the Tafawa Balewa Square dedicated to concert goers. Stringent measures have also been put in place to guarantee the safety and security of the large crowd expected at the all night concert.
In order to lighten the traffic & parking burden concert goers’ have been advised to car pool with friends and relatives.
Both the international artistes as well as the Nigerian artistes that would be performing are renowned, dynamic and creative artistes, with some of them as award winners at different point in time. So brace yourself, for live music like you’ve never heard it before.
It promises to be an amazing night !
The event is being coordinated by the House On The Rock Church, led by Pastor Paul Adefarasin as well as other churches.
