Opening the year with praise is one of the best ways to set a strong foundation for 2026, and Festival of Praise Manchester is set to lead the way. Returning this January for its landmark 15th edition, the annual gathering continues to unite believers for an unforgettable night of thanksgiving, worship and celebration. Hosted by Jubilee Church Manchester RCCG, Festival of Praise has become a key fixture on the UK Christian calendar.
This year’s edition will feature leading worship ministers from the UK and Nigeria, reflecting the strong worship ties between both nations. The lineup includes Graham Kendrick (UK), Lou Fellingham (UK), Steve Tibbs (UK), Elle Limebear (UK), Warehouse Worship (UK), Philippa Hanna (UK), alongside Nathaniel Bassey (Nigeria), Mercy Chinwo (Nigeria), Dunsin Oyekan (Nigeria) and Bidemi Olaoba (Nigeria), with other gifted ministers and speakers also taking part.
Festival of Praise is more than a music event. It is a moment of collective thanksgiving, prayer and heartfelt worship, creating space for unity, reflection and spiritual renewal as thousands lift one voice in praise.
