The organisers of the highly anticipated LNIG Hollard Gospel Xplosion say everything is set for an unforgettable worship experience when the annual festival returns next week under the theme “Echoes of Glory: The Sound of Jubilee.”
Speaking during a recent Praise & Press Brunch held at Mmelesi Lodge, event director Nthabeleng Mokitimi-Dlamini assured gospel music fans that preparations are complete and expectations are high for a day of powerful worship.
“We believe that after today, we might as well start preparing for 2026. We have done everything we can as a team. We have put in our expertise, our time, and our resources. We surrender the rest to God. It is all in His hands,” she said.
Dlamini emphasised that the Gospel Xplosion remains deeply rooted in both faith and excellence.
“This event was birthed in faith and it is executed with excellence. Every team member shows up with their gift, because everything we do, we do it unto the Lord,” she said.
“We are not event organisers. When we do the LNIG Hollard Gospel Xplosion, we are doing our part for the Kingdom.”
From logistics to infrastructure setup, compliance, and safety measures, organisers say all systems are fully operational. Dlamini confirmed that all necessary permits and compliance certificates have been secured, security personnel have been briefed, and up to three ambulances will be on standby throughout the event.
She revealed that VIP tickets have already sold out, reflecting the strong demand and enthusiasm for this year’s edition.
“That tells you the demand and excitement for Gospel Xplosion,” she added.
According to Dlamini, the 2025 festival will feature several exciting enhancements, including improved stage production, multilingual worship, and a more diverse performance lineup.
“If you thought last year’s stage was impressive, wait until you see what we are unveiling this year,” she said.
“For the first time, we are including a non-gospel artist, our own award-winning star. We also have multilingual performances and will run lyrics on screen so everyone can worship without missing a moment.”
In response to feedback from last year’s attendees about the early closing time, organisers have extended the event to run until 5 a.m. To ensure convenience and safety, taxi partnerships have been arranged to provide reliable late-night transport.
“Anytime someone wants to leave, there will be transport available. The safety of our patrons is very important to us,” she said.
LNIG Hollard’s Head of Brand and Marketing, Liepollo Tsekoa, reaffirmed the company’s commitment to the Gospel Xplosion as its headline sponsor. She praised the organising team’s thorough preparations and expressed confidence in the event’s success.
“We are committed as LNIG Hollard to the success of the event. Since the organisers approached us and sold the beautiful event concept to us, we have no doubt that they have put everything in place for the success of the event come Saturday,” Tsekoa said.
