Nairobi has solidified its reputation as East Africa’s premier cultural hub, attracting global music icons and unforgettable performances.
Following recent acclaimed performances by gospel artists Limoblaze and Joe L Barnes, the city now prepares for another monumental musical event.
This Friday, Grammy-winning worship leader Chandler Moore of Maverick City Music brings his Omemma Tour to Nairobi, marking a pivotal milestone in Kenya’s ascent as a top destination for world-class musical and spiritual experiences.
Kenya has steadily emerged as a key hub for gospel music in Africa, known for its deeply rooted worship culture and enthusiastic audiences.
Chandler Moore’s decision to include Nairobi in his Europe + Africa tour is a testament to the country’s growing influence in the global gospel movement.
Kenyan worshippers have embraced Maverick City Music’s sound, with songs like “Jireh,” “Promises,” and “Omemma” becoming staples in churches and playlists across the nation.
This concert is more than just a performance—it’s a divine convergence of Kenyan and global worship styles, promising a unique spiritual experience.
Fresh from sold-out performances in London, Paris, Lagos, and beyond, Moore is set to deliver an extraordinary night of praise, worship, and divine encounter.
The event, taking place at CITAM Karen on March 28, promises an immersive blend of high-energy praise and intimate worship, with general admission tickets at Ksh 3,500 and VIP meet-and-greet access at Ksh 9,000.
CITAM Karen, a venue renowned for its acoustics and spiritual ambiance, is the perfect setting for an evening of unrestrained worship. If you haven’t secured your ticket yet, here’s why you should.

Given Chandler’s spontaneous worship style, the set list may extend beyond planned tracks into impromptu moments of praise, where the atmosphere shifts from performance to a true worship encounter.
