The first Liverpool Gospel Music Festival took place on the 9th of September 2023. The event featured internationally known artists, including headliners The Kingdom Choir and Called Out Music. The festival had to be postponed in 2024 following the summer riots and this year will be held indoors.
The festival organised by Liverpool Lighthouse; a charity based in Anfield working to create thriving communities of people living more fulfilled lives, is the only National Portfolio Organisation covering gospel music funded by the Arts Council.

Anu Omideyi, Liverpool Gospel Music Festival Director and Music Director at Liverpool Lighthouse said: “After the disappointing postponement of Liverpool Gospel Music Festival 2024 following the lethal cocktail of the race riots and the difficult economic climate, we’re absolutely delighted to return with LGMF 2025. We have some of the best gospel artists in the country such as headliners London Community Gospel Choir and Michelle John who have both sung with the world’s greatest artists – including Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton, Justin Timberlake, Annie Lennox – on the world’s biggest stages.  Other incredible artists in our line up are MOBO nominees: rap sensation Reblah and stunning vocalist Tofunmi Adorna. Liverpool’s well-established Love & Joy Gospel Choir alongside the newer Lighthouse Choir, featured in Comic Relief 2024 and ITV’s Big New Year’s Bash, will sing alongside outstanding choirs and artists from across the country including Manchester, Birmingham and London. We’re so glad to be able to bring many communities from different ethnicities, backgrounds, faiths and no faiths together to celebrate the undeniable power, joy and love in Gospel music.”
