The anticipation is palpable as Maverick City, the renowned American contemporary worship music collective, touched down in Nairobi on Saturday morning ahead of their much-anticipated concert at Uhuru Gardens. The group, whose music has resonated with millions worldwide, is on their Kingdom World Tour and is set to bring an unforgettable worship experience to Kenyan fans.
Accompanying Maverick City is gospel legend Kirk Franklin, whose energetic and soul-stirring performances have made him a household name in the global gospel music scene. Also joining the tour are Nigerian worship sensation Tim Godfrey and Ghanaian gospel artist Pompi, adding a rich diversity to the evening’s lineup.
The group arrived at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport from Uganda, where they had just wrapped up another electrifying show. Their arrival was marked by a vibrant and colorful reception, complete with traditional Kenyan dancers who showcased the country’s rich cultural heritage. The warm welcome set the tone for what is expected to be a night of powerful worship and praise.
Royal Media Services, a leading media conglomerate in Kenya, has partnered with Maverick City and Kirk Franklin as the official media sponsor of the event. Through its various brands, including Citizen Digital, Citizen TV, Hot 96, and Gospel Sunday, Royal Media Services has been instrumental in promoting the event and ensuring it reaches a wide audience across the country.
The concert, which will be held at the expansive Uhuru Gardens grounds in Nairobi, promises to be an uplifting and spiritually enriching experience. Kenyan fans have eagerly awaited this moment, and the buzz around the city indicates that the event will be a significant milestone in the country’s gospel music scene.
Maverick City has been on a journey across Africa, bringing their unique blend of contemporary worship music to audiences in different countries. Their tour has already seen successful performances in South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Uganda, where they were met with overwhelming support and enthusiasm from gospel music lovers. Kenya marks the final stop in East Africa before the group heads to West Africa to continue their tour.
The event in Nairobi is expected to draw thousands of fans from across the country, with many traveling from different regions to be part of this historic night. The choice of Uhuru Gardens as the venue is significant, given its historical and cultural importance in Kenya. The vast open space, which has hosted numerous national events, is the perfect setting for a night of worship under the stars.
In the lead-up to the event, Maverick City and Kirk Franklin have been actively engaging with their Kenyan fans on social media, expressing their excitement about performing in Nairobi. Their posts have generated a lot of excitement, with fans expressing their eagerness to be part of the worship experience.
As the sun sets on Saturday, the stage will be set for an evening of powerful worship, where attendees will have the opportunity to connect with God through music.

For those unable to attend in person, Royal Media Services has ensured that the concert will be accessible to a broader audience through live broadcasts on Citizen TV and Citizen Digital. This move will allow fans across the country and beyond to join in the worship experience from the comfort of their homes.
