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.

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.
