‘Kingdom Night’ makes its grand return to the Pigeon Island Landmark tonight and the event which has quickly become a jazz favourite is expected to attract thousands to the venue.
The event which was added to the Jazz and Arts Festival line up last year will feature stellar acts like Donnie McClurkin, Carlene Davis, Marvia Providence, Tabitha Prospere and Nigela St.Clair-Daniel, the latter hailing from Saint Lucia.
“It’s set to be an evening filled with praise, worship, and joyful celebration. We’ve thoughtfully planned the traffic routes to ensure a smooth experience for everyone. With meticulous planning and rehearsals, the team is gearing up to deliver a spiritually uplifting experience,” Head of Marketing at the Saint Lucia Tourism Authority (SLTA) Dexter Percil said, adding that ‘Kingdom Night’ promises to be a harmonious blend of faith and music, setting the perfect tone for the Jazz and Arts Festival.
Last year, ‘Kingdom Night’ received rave reviews with gospel powerhouse Cece Winans bringing down the curtains.
Sinach, a renowned gospel artiste, like Winans (and others who performed that night) left patrons wanting more after performing a slew of hits.
Local artiste and ‘Star Quest’ winner Emrand Henry also hit the mainstage, delivering in true Emrand-like fashion.
And whilst Kingdom Night is strictly a gospel themed event, make no mistake, it’s at the top of the list for many individuals.
Percil says anticipation is growing for the Jazz and Arts Festival as all artists have arrived on island and are ready to inspire.
On Friday, music lovers will return to the venue for ‘Caribbean Fusion’ featuring Machel Montano, Beres Hammond and other household names. World Beats (on Saturday) will feature hitmakers like Joe Boy, Chloe Bailey and Arthur Allain. And on Sunday, the Jazz and Arts Festival will culminate with ‘The Ultimate celebration’ with artistes like Air Supply, Baby Face, Michele Henderson and more taking center stage.
