Zimbabwe’s biggest night in gospel, A Night of Thanksgiving (ANOT 2026), will once again usher in the New Year with a powerful thanksgiving and worship experience. The brainchild of award winning gospel artist Janet Manyowa, the concert has become a tradition that can’t be missed for gospel lovers.
Powered by Ecobank, reflecting a shared commitment to community and celebration, the event will be held on Thursday, 1 January, 2026, at the iconic Harare International Conference Centre (HICC).
The theme for the 2026 edition is “Overflow,” a profound declaration of abundant gratitude blessing, grace, and spiritual abundance for the coming year.
Colossians 2:7 – Rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.
ANOT Event Director, Munyaradzi Manyowa expressed optimism that the event would usher in the New Year with renewed faith and optimism:
“Each year, ANOT serves as a reminder that gratitude overflows when hearts come together in worship. This year, we believe that God is calling us to an even deeper place of thanksgiving and renewal. ANOT 2026 will be a powerful gathering. It will serve as both a moment to reflect, and a moment to allow praise and worship to overflow as we step into the New Year together.”
The host, Janet Manyowa (Zimbabwe) will take to the stage alongside international guest Ada Ehi, South African gospel powerhouse, Xolly Mncwango, and celebrated Zimbabwean artists Takesure Zamar, Everton Mlalazi, Baba naMai Charamba, Ellard and Sharon Cherayi, The Unveiled, and Joyfull Praise.
