The gospel giants are bringing 30 songs, three decades of memories and plenty of praise to Mpumalanga

Middelburg, get ready to sing, dance and catch the Holy Ghost, because Joyous Celebration is coming to town!

South Africa's beloved gospel group is taking its Thirty30 Tour to Middelburg, Mpumalanga, on Saturday, 14 November 2026, celebrating an incredible 30 years of music, faith and worship.

And yes, the maths is simple: 30 years, 30 songs and one massive celebration.

Three decades of Joyous Celebration

The Yethu Sonke Foundation is bringing the milestone tour to Middelburg as part of its ongoing celebration of music, community and joyful experiences.

The Thirty30 tour isn't just another concert. Fans can expect powerful live performances, vibrant choreography and plenty of those classic Joyous Celebration moments that have soundtracked Mzansi's worship journeys for decades.

Basically, leave your office shoes at home because there will be serious praise happening!

Middelburg, it's your turn!

Following the successful first phase of the tour, which kicked off in Johannesburg earlier this year, Joyous Celebration is now heading to more cities across Mzansi.

The Middelburg leg is expected to attract gospel lovers from across Mpumalanga and surrounding communities.

Yethu Sonke Foundation spokesperson Ofentse Riba says the organisation is excited to celebrate the milestone with the Middelburg community.

“Thirty years is an incredible achievement, and we want to celebrate it with the community through the universal language of music,” Riba said.

The celebration also has an extra special meaning for the foundation, which is marking 18 years of existence.

So, Middelburg, warm up those vocal cords, get your dancing shoes ready and prepare for a night of 30 songs and 30 years of Joyous Celebration!
