Captivating opening concert for festival Gospel XL

Unfortunately, Edsilia Rombley has had to cancel all of her performances this weekend due to emergency surgery for appendicitis. We wish her a speedy recovery. Ticket holders will be contacted.

Gospel is more than just a musical genre. It is a story of survival and hope that began in the era of slavery. That raw emotion and deep-rooted strength later became the blueprint for genres like soul music. Icons like Aretha Franklin, Sam Cooke and Mahalia Jackson brought the sound from the church to the world stage. And don't forget Al Green's smooth sound, Marvin Gaye's rich, layered vocals, and Oleta Adams' powerful voice.

In this programme, ZO! Gospel Choir brings this evolution to life, after all: without gospel, there would be no soul. Get ready for a powerful musical evening where traditional gospel meets classic and contemporary soul. The result is a dynamic concert that links historical roots to the modern sound of today. With their signature powerhouse vocals and electrifying energy, ZO! Gospel Choir proves its status as the gold standard of the genre for the past 15 years.
