Soul in the City’s highly anticipated ‘Big Event’ kicks off tonight at the Carling Academy Brixton in London, following last week’s launch of Soul Week 2006: Louder than Words.

The line-up includes some of UK’s most popular acts, such as Andy Flannagan, 29th Chapter, Jahaziel and Judah and Secret and Lou Fellingham.

Patrick Regan, CEO of XLP and Soul in the City, and Dr Jonathan Oloyede of Glory House will be hosting the event, while more than 5,000 people are expected to attend.

Regan told Christian Today: “The ‘Big Event’ is some of the UK’s best Christian acts coming together under one roof. We’re going to be sharing the gospel, and there is going to be a very high standard of performance.”
