Fans can look forward to a night that promises not only powerful worship music but also a multisensory celebration of creativity and faith.
Speaking about the upcoming show, Khaya Mthethwa said that Art & Worship II is designed to celebrate excellence in worship while embracing artistic expression as a vital part of spiritual life.
“Art & Worship II is a celebration of the gift of worship, but also a call to embrace art as a language of faith,” he explained. “This show is about excellence, culture, and creating a space where people can encounter God through every sense.”
Khaya Mthethwa on the Purpose Behind Art & Worship
For Khaya Mthethwa, the Art & Worship concept is more than just a concert — it’s a spiritual encounter. Known for his passionate worship style and heart for ministry, he views the event as a platform to bring together believers from different walks of life through creative expression.
“The audience can expect an evening filled with incredible praise and worship and a powerful spiritual experience,” said Mthethwa. “I believe that God is reviving South Africa, and as we come together as worshippers, we will have the power to change people’s lives.”
Mthethwa emphasized that the show is not only a musical performance but a sacred moment of unity, where faith and art converge to glorify God.
As both an artist and worshipper, Khaya Mthethwa has always sought to bridge the gap between artistry and spirituality. His career, which began after winning Idols South Africa in 2012, has evolved far beyond music charts and awards. Today, he stands as one of South Africa’s most influential gospel voices, committed to excellence in ministry and creativity.
“Bringing these two parts of my life together means unearthing creativity while pursuing God with all that I am,” Mthethwa explained. “Art & Worship allows me to express my full creative identity — it’s where I feel most authentic as both an artist and a worshipper.”
Through Art & Worship, Mthethwa hopes to inspire others to recognize the power of artistic gifts in serving God. His vision is to create a space where music, painting, poetry, and visual art come together as instruments of worship.
The Art & Worship II experience will feature a dynamic lineup of performances and artistic displays that aim to move hearts and uplift spirits. Attendees can expect an evening filled with live gospel music, visual artistry, and a vibrant atmosphere of praise.
Mthethwa revealed that the show will include collaborations with renowned worship artists and creative talents from across the country. “Every performance is designed to create a spiritual connection,” he said. “We want people to leave not only entertained but transformed.”
The event will also feature state-of-the-art stage production, immersive lighting, and visual storytelling — all crafted to reflect the beauty of worship expressed through art.
In addition to the main concert, Khaya Mthethwa and his team have announced a series of free Worship Masterclasses to be held at selected churches around Johannesburg. These sessions are designed to equip and inspire upcoming worship leaders, helping them understand the deeper calling behind worship ministry.
“Raising a new generation of worshippers is close to my heart,” Mthethwa shared. “These masterclasses are about mentorship, practical training, and helping young leaders find their authentic voice in worship.”
Participants will have the opportunity to learn from Khaya Mthethwa and other experienced musicians about topics such as stage presence, songwriting, and leading worship teams with excellence and humility.
Since his rise to fame, Khaya Mthethwa has continued to redefine contemporary gospel music in South Africa. With multiple SAMA and Crown Gospel Awards to his name, he has earned recognition not only for his soulful voice but also for his authenticity and commitment to his faith.
Beyond his solo career, Mthethwa is also a respected pastor, television host, and mentor. His influence extends across media, music, and ministry, positioning him as a thought leader in the Christian creative space.
Through initiatives like Art & Worship, he continues to elevate the standard of gospel performance while reminding believers that creativity is a divine gift meant to glorify God.
With Art & Worship II, Khaya Mthethwa is inviting audiences to experience faith in a fresh, creative way — one that transcends genres and traditions. For him, worship is not confined to song but extends into every form of artistic expression.
As the nation prepares for this powerful event at Carnival City, fans and believers alike can expect an unforgettable night of praise, creativity, and divine inspiration.
“This is more than a show,” said Mthethwa. “It’s a movement — a reminder that worship is art, and art can be worship.”
