The UK's first ever mainstream gospel music festival has been announced for Stanley Park on September 9.
The event will take place alongside a drive by the UK's gospel music community to help emphasise Gospel Heritage Month. Liverpool Lighthouse, the Anfield-based charity spearheading the event, also acts as a hub for supporting and developing gospel music and gospel music artists in the North West.
Members of the public can expect internationally known artists, including headliners The Kingdom Choir and CalledOut Music. As the festival develops to be an annual event, it will also include panel discussions with artists, meet-the-artist events, participatory activities for families, the community and wider celebrations of black culture.
