Welcome to Madrid

With more than 25 years of performances and a quarter of a century bringing the best American gospel to Spain, the Madrid Grandes del Gospel Festival is back again to hold its 29th edition in December 2023 in the Guirau Hall at the Fernán Gómez Cultural Centre.  It is a Christmas must and will present several of the genre’s best international ensembles, continuing with its legacy of excellence and its mission to move the audience.

Having grown year after year, it currently visits more than twenty cities, which host the festival’s concert programme. A far cry from its traditional religious connotation, this festival aims to be a multi-generational experience in which all members of the family will enjoy and share exciting moments.

Previous editions have exceeded audiences of 8,000 people (with an average of 90% attendance in each show) and have featured legendary groups, such as The Dixie Hummingbirds, Blind Boys of Alabama, the Georgia or Chicago Mass Choir, Mississippi Mass Choir or The Golden Gate Quartet.
