Spirit Fest

It was sooo much fun, as I got to see many of my favorite Christian artists: Mercy Me, Newsboys, For King & Country, The Afters, etc. at 1 venue for almost 10 solid hours of worship with singing and dance!!! I look forward to next year! :)

Really enjoyed Spirit Fest 2016 as the location changed and atmosphere was totally different. The only thing that was difficult was that the stages were in different areas and hard to see so many different artists with the amount of people we had in attendance. Missed seeing quite a few artists and never had the chance due to the lack of planning on schedules. Did not get to see the After's, Digital Age, Jason Fowler. The autograph sessions were not well planned as well. Missed a lot of them and the time spent in line was along time. The food selection was great and the area to sit and relax was outstanding just the planning as I am sure more people would have loved to seen every artist. Something to think about next year to make it longer would help.

LOVE IT!!!! HAD A VERY BLESSED TIME FROM THE BEGINNING TO THE END!!!! SO GLAD MARVIN SAPP MADE IT!!!

It was all that I imagined and more. Each performer had plenty of time and left the audience wanting more. Tamela Mann and Tye Tribbett were just beyond amazing. They truly allowed God to speak through them.

All the entertainers were outstanding. They did not disappoint. Haven't seen Pastor Shirley Caesar in a while - I've always admired her enthusiastic personality. Glad that Joe Ligon, of The Mighty Clouds of Joy, was honored. Pastor Marvin Sapp gave it his all - without a live group. Lee Williams/Spiritual QCs could've stayed on a little longer - he's charming. Came in on Rance Allen Group - and again they put "on their show." Thank you, Pastor Elijah Ray, continue the celebration of gospel artists - those who are known and the new artists that you introduce each year. God bless.

Great show, seats were a little tight but overall concert was awesome, will be back for 2012!

There was not one poor act in the line-up. Every act was awesome!

Usually a very good show. Not nearly as long this year, which was a good thing. But the performances were very disjointed and seemed rushed.

awesome experience. was a tad long but worth it.great acoustics. seats could be a bit roomier.

We were blessed with tickets to this event by our Pastor. That set the stage for an awesome time to tell God thanks for his favor. We had a great time. The scholarship recipients were blessed and we are pledging $100.00 from our church family for 2012. We are looking to bring more with us next year to this event. Keep the variety of gospel music on the program and we pray for the Spiritfest continued success!! CBC Memorial Church Family

The line up was great. The only problem we had, was the loudness. It was so loud you couldn't enjoy the show. At some points, it was so bad we had to go into the foyer area for a break. Next time, turn it down!

I think that all the artists came to give their best. I was a little disappointed in Marvin Sapp he came out like an R&B artist. He spoke behind the scene for awhile before appearing. He was also dressed as if he was going to a cookout. The other artists wore suits. The overall rating was really good.

The experience was awesome. I would go again and enjoy the talent in my race.

First of all my apologies to Vanessa Bell Armstrong because my husband and I arrived late at the end of her performance which was wonderful. The Williams Brothers, the Rance Allen Group and Lee Williams I tell you they were "OFF THE CHAIN". They all in their performances were a Blessing to us, Annointing, Great and comical at times. But Marvin Sapp put the icing on the cake, he Blessed us as well but also made a lot of us cry or had tears in our eyes for the personal testimony he gave. God Bless all of them. This is a (MUST BE THERE) Spiritfest. I don't know where I have been since it started and this is our 2nd year attending but by the Grace of God we pray to make it a yearly trip. God Bless you all.

This concert was a blessing to my spirit. I enjoyed all of the singers and the prayers put the "icing on the cake." I know for a fact that prayer still works. I was really moved by Marvin Sapp's getting real session. He truely showed perserverence and his dedication as well as committment not only to God, but to his fans also. Please let's keep his wife and his family in our prayers because we all know that prayer still works.

My family and I have been watching these artist TV and watch them so much until we recorded them on video. When I heard that these special artist were coming to the BI-LO Center so I hurried and blocked in my floor seats and also told a friend and she came with her husband.My daughters were so excited that they ot to meet and greet serveral of the artist along w/picture. Just had a wonderful family holiday because of this concert.

oh my GOD I drove from Asheville and everything was perfect . I purchased the ticket online and printed them ( thank"s ticket masters for making it easy) . The comcert was on time and also very good. a little long , but worth every penny spent. This is my second year and Lord willing next year same time same Spritfest channel

Singer were great the seat could have been better. The food was terrible I also didn't like the way we let in the doors like we were cows

Spirit Fest has been a family tradition for us for the past few years. The bands are always amazing. Having more space to roam around and having fun activities for the kids and the adults to enjoy ex. Helicopter ride, was awesome. The venue was expensive and I wish the schedule had been shown in different places around the venue and that it was correct. What was posted on the fliers and even on the website was not correct and I missed my favorite band to get their autographs, but other than that we had such a wonderful time and we look forward to doing more family activities like Spirit Fest in the future. Having two stages was an easier way for other bands to set up, but I wish the bands playing didn't overlap. Would have loved to have seen some that were playing on the smaller stage but the other band was not finished with their set.

Excellent artists, however who in the world decided to move the venue from dell diamond? Last year you had two stages side by side, this you had to leave your seating to move to the rear of the venue to see some of the artists. Paid 80.00 per seat and had to spend the day traveling back and forth between stages. When you pay top dollar for seating you expect to be able to see the show from one location. Seems like the gen admission folks got the better deal here. The show was amazing.

Hard to label a favorite. All great and so sincere in their walk with God. Each group/individual had a wonderful story as well as fabulous talent. THANK YOU! Already looking forward to next year.

This was an amazing experience, all these people worshipping God. Couldn't have asked for a better place to display such talented individuals the amphitheater is the perfect place for the Spirit Fest. Let's do it again next year ;)

I attended the concert alone. I had an amazing time. Lots of activities for kids and families. I did some gift shopping for family members. Food trucks were great however as with any event, they were expensive. I will definitely go next year. This was the first time held at the Austin 360 Amphitheater. I have attended the past two years when it was in Round Rock at the Dell Diamond. It is an amazing experience to hear live so many Christian music bands in one place!!

Totally worth it! Fantastic music, seating & met some great peoples. Definitely needed this spiritual high during these dark tumultuous days. God is NOT dead! Thank you Lord

This was my first spirit fest and I was so excited to see For King & country. I was not disappointed. Joel and Luke are the best and God bless them and their family :-)

loved every minute. Worth every penny and the lineup of artists was amazing .. FANTASTIC. COTA is and excellent location - lots of space and very well organized.

Wonderful, wonderful day! All the artists were awesome and so filled with the love of our Lord! The weather was beautiful, you could not ask for better. The only thing was the two stages separated...Last year at Dell Diamond the two stages were side by side, this year they were separated. We missed a few artists because we couldnt get to the other stage each time...So wish from now on they keep the stages together, that is hard on us old people!!! God Bless!!

As always it was the best money I have ever spent for a concert. I loved the venue at COTA and the music was great. The performances kept everybody on their feet. I have always said this f you don't leave there faith filled then you have a cold heart. I bought tickets for their Christmas this year and they were thrilled. Please done ever stop this concert we need it in this crazy world. To see all different nationalities in one place praising the LORD and loving each other was exactly what we need. The bands were all so good. Thank you.

This was our first year attending SpiritFest and it was AWESOME! It was truly a great day. There was so much to do, we couldn't fit it all in! PROS: The line-up of artists was amazing! There were so many booths with great causes and good merchandise. CONS: I didn't like the 2 stages. The acts were about every 30 minutes so it was a lot of back and forth. I don't mind paying $10-12 for food, but $5 every time you need a drink makes it a very long day. The programs that were being passed out at the door had the wrong schedule. This confused a lot of people.

This was our first time to Spirit Fest. Lots of fun stuff to do and see. The event venue was very nice. The bands were awesome!!!

Spirit fest was a life changing event! My 3 year old daughter is still talking about it and saying she wants to see the Newzboys again. We will never forget the spirit filled day! And we can't wait till next year!

I absolutely love going to Spirit Fest and look forward to it every year. I was extremely disappointed in the venue choice this year. For the simple fact that you were unable to see both stages from your seat. When I pay that much money for a ticket I would like to be able to sit in my seat and enjoy seeing every band. Unfortunately this year because of the stage set up and schedule I had to miss several bands that I was greatly looking forward to seeing. I can not say that I would come back next year if it was at this location again. This is why I was unable to give this event 5 stars.

This was my wife and I's first time to Spirit Fest and it was amazing. We enjoyed the venue and all the bands that played, especially For King and Country and The Newsboys. We were not able to stay for MercyMe as this was a "school" night for us. Would liked for it to have been on a Saturday, but nonetheless it was amazing.

This was the 1st year away from round rock and the new venue sucks. This year they had 3 stages, the main stage, a 2nd stage out of the main amphitheater and a 3rd by the main entrance. My wife and i are both handicapped with limited mobility and they had split the acts into performing at the 2 stages, main and 2nd and you had to run from on to the other. We paid almost $300.00 for reserved seats on row F (6 rows from the stage) and we missed half the artists we wanted to see as they were on the 2nd stage outside of the main area and they were nit shown on the screens on the main stage area. and these seats in the 2nd area were 1st come get the best seats. the hand outs that spirit radio were giving out at there booth were wrong, they had changed the artist lineup 2 days prior to the show, the website had the right times and stages but they were handing out TOTALLY WRONG PROGRAMS AND THEY KNEW IT. WE WASTED $300.00 for this totally lousy day. THE AMPHITHEATER ITSELF IS NOT HANDICAPPED FRIENDLY AT ALL. Everyone sitting around me was very upset that they had split the stages the way they did, people were only able to see one or the other.....IT SUCKED

Can't wait until next year , great fun for all ages

This Concert was way more then I expected out of every guest But omg Shriley Ceaser ,Tye Tribett ,Anthony,Jaklelynn Etc this was to die for !!!!!!!?

It has been my husband's dream to see Lee Williams and the Spiritual QCs live in person, so it was amazing seeing one of my husband's dreams come true. Music was great!!!

THE SHOW WAS AMAZING FROM BEGINNING TO END!..THERE WAS DEFINITELY THE SPIRIT OF GOD AT SPIRIT FEST THIS YEAR..NO QUESTION..i CAN'T WAIT TO DO IT ALL AGAIN NEXT YEAR.. .

I am never disappointed with the vessels of God who can take you into the presence of God! I am still experiencing my mountain top experiencing. My soul was encouraged and strengthened!

God showed up and showed and used the artist to lift the atmosphere

I would recommend anyone to attend SpiritFest. It is held Labor Day weekend. This is my second time attending. I really enjoyed all the performances. Roy and Revelation is a young talented group. Jekalyn Carr has a powerful voice. I have became a fan. Loved her song "Bigger".Always great to see Pastor Shirley Caesar. She still sounds phenomenal. I also enjoyed the other performances Lee Williams and QCs, The Canton Spirituals, and Tye Tribbett.

This was the first time my husband and I had attended the Spirit Fest. We were happy that we made the trip from Alabama to be a part of this awesome concert. This was an experience of a life time. The presence of the Lord was definitely in the Bi-Lo Center. We will certainly attend next year.

I loved every single performance!! But Tye Tribbett took the house down! He was awesome!!! please bring him back in 2014. Can't wait to purchase my early bird tickets for 2014 because I will be there!!!!

The best gospel event of the year...without questioned!

Although the artist were performing, you could feel the spirit of each individual/group ,especially Mrs. Tamela Mann. When the spirit hit her, tears fell from my eyes. It doesn't matter how much money you have or fame, we all have problems or situations in our lives, no matter how big or small, that we have to TAKE TO THE KING..I had never been to the BiLo Center and this was the first year my husband and I attended the Spirit Fest, but it definitely will not be our last. Next year, God willing, we plan to bring more from Virginia.

The singers was great it was like an revival. It was very refreshing to my soul.

Wonderful job. Well worth my second row seat and my money. I definitely returned home very full. I'll more than likely be in attendance next year.

The act before Shirley Cesar stayed on the stage too long. Her opening was too preachy. I was ready to go and did leave.
