Local and international gospel stars come together for Gospel Goes Classic in October
This show and live DVD is set to stand out as one of the most memorable concerts of 2018 with artists from five different countries appearing.
Carnival City’s Big Top Arena provides the stage for the fifth edition of the highly acclaimed Gospel Goes Classic showcase on October 27.
The Africa Worship themed show features artists from South Africa, United States, Nigeria, Ghana and Switzerland.
“Year after year Gospel Goes Classic is enjoyed by thousands of fans. We could not be more thrilled to host this show at Carnival City’s Big Top Arena on this, their fifth anniversary,” said Michelle Smith, marketing manager at Carnival City.
While previous editions have featured great artists such as Donnie McClurkin, Jonathan Butler, Benjamin Dube, Rebecca Malope and the late Sfiso Ncwane, it gets better this year.
Dlophe Records have gone all out to bring to the stage some of the best talents in the spheres of gospel.

The stellar line-up this year will feature the likes of Joe Mettle, Nduduzo Matse and Ntokozo Mbambo and, topping the bill, the world-renowned Vashawn Mitchell from the USA.
Few gospel singers can compare to Mitchell, who is the most nominated artist at the 27th Annual Stellar Awards.
He is also a nominee for two Grammy awards and two Dove awards.
Among others, he will be performing his single Nobody Greater which has been the most played gospel song of the year and spent nine weeks on Billboard’s gospel songs chart.
Joining Mitchell on stage is South Africa’s own Ntokozo Mbambo.
Having shared the stage with international artists such as Yolanda Adams, Donnie McClurkin, Kirk Franklin and Cece Winans, Mbambo is no stranger to lovers of gospel music, both locally and overseas.
This South African Music Awards, Crown Gospel and Africa Gospel awards winner is ready to lift the roof with her much loved praise and worship.
Lebohang Kgapola, Takie Ndou, Tshepo Price, Keneiloe Hope, Sicelo Moya, the Classic Worship Choir and Yvonne May also form part of the lineup.
Doors open at 6pm and the recording starts at 7.30pm.
