In the past, through its host, Pastor Paul Adefarasin, the Metropolitan Pastor of House on the Rock, The EXPERIENCE has brought the biggest gospel music superstars from across the globe to Lagos, taking the form of an all-night musical concert. The EXPERIENCE is arguably the biggest gospel music festival in the world with over 500,000 to a million people in attendance in the past. The maiden edition of The EXPERIENCE in December 2006 attracted a crowd of 40,000 people. Since then, The EXPERIENCE has drawn thousands of tourists and millions of hosts into Nigeria’s Tafawa Belewa Square every year. Breaking the boundaries of colour, race, language, nationality, and denomination, The EXPERIENCE is arguably the biggest gospel concert in the whole world. It exceeded its mark in the 2020 edition that was streamed live on all social media platforms with over 5 million views, despite the COVID-19 lockdown. The 2021 edition of The EXPERIENCE promises to be an experience of a lifetime with leading top gospel artists and ministers in attendance. For this year’s edition, ministering are Donnie McClurkin, Tim Godfrey, Sidney Mohede, Mercy Chinwo, Dunsin Oyekan, Nathaniel Bassey, Maverick City (Chandler Moore), The Planetshakers, Ana Paula Valadao Bessa, Nokwe the Poet, Eben, Sinach, Travis Greene, William McDowell, Chevelle Franklyn, LMGC, Don Moen, and Sheldon Bangera.
