The venue for the Kingdom World Tour 2024 event in Accra, Ghana, has been changed.
Originally scheduled to be held at the International Central Gospel Church (ICGC) Christ Temple East on Teshie Rasta Road, the event will now take place at the First Love Centre, located at UPSA in Legon.
Doors will open at 5 PM as planned.
According to the organizers, Culture Management Group (CMG) Gospel and Faith Collective, the venue change was necessitated by an unforeseen situation.
Just 24 hours before the event, the management of ICGC Christ Temple East unexpectedly increased the rental price by over 80%, a move that CMG Gospel described as both shocking and deeply disappointing.
This sudden escalation in cost created significant complications, prompting the need for a last-minute venue change.
“The disruption stems from a sudden and unexpected increase in the venue price,” they explained. “Unfortunately, only 24 hours before showtime, the venue’s management increased the rental price by more than 80%.”
CMG Gospel noted they were “shocked and deeply disappointed by this change in plans by the management of ICGC Christ Temple East,” adding that “this sudden increase in cost has caused unnecessary complications for all involved.”
CMG Gospel expressed their regret for any inconvenience this may cause and assured attendees that the event will proceed smoothly at the new location.
The Kingdom World Tour 2024 will feature performances by renowned American gospel artist Kirk Franklin and the acclaimed contemporary worship group Maverick City Music.
Franklin, known for his groundbreaking work in making gospel music accessible to younger audiences since the 1990s, continues to inspire with his dynamic sound.
Maverick City Music, a group that has risen to international fame since its inception in 2018, is celebrated for hits like ‘Promises,’ ‘Man Of Your Word,’ and ‘Jireh.’
Their distinctive approach to gospel music has resonated widely, particularly among younger generations.
