GOSPEL powerhouse Janet Manyowa has secured some of the continent’s finest voices for the 2026 edition of the All Nations Overflow Thanksgiving (ANOT), her signature New Year worship experience.
ANOT has grown into a must-attend spiritual ritual, marking the crossover into a fresh year through praise, worship and thanksgiving.
Next year’s event, themed “Overflow”, speaks to abundant grace, blessings and gratitude as believers prepare for 2026.
Manyowa has assembled a star-studded line-up that blends gospel legends and young worship giants.
Set to headline the Harare International Conference Centre (HICC) event are Ada Ehi, Takesure Zamar Ncube, Everton Mlalazi, Xolly Mncwango, Joyful Praise, The Unveiled, and Charles and Olivia Charamba.
ANOT event director, Munyaradzi Manyowa, said this year’s edition aims to usher worshippers into the New Year with renewed faith and a refreshed spirit.
He anchored the event’s theme on Colossians 2:7 – a call to be rooted in Christ and “overflowing with thankfulness”.
“Each year, ANOT reminds us that gratitude grows when people unite in worship.
“For 2026, we believe God is calling us even deeper into thanksgiving and renewal.
“ANOT 2026 will be a powerful gathering, a moment to reflect and a moment to allow praise and worship to overflow as we step into the New Year together.”
The upcoming edition marks six years of Janet Manyowa’s now-iconic worship concert.
This year’s ANOT made history.
On January 1, Janet filled the HICC to capacity, becoming the first female musician to achieve that milestone.
The event, themed Grace Upon Grace, featured Ada Ehi, Takesure Zamar, and Everton Mlalazi. But what left the deepest mark was the atmosphere of love and generosity, especially for children.
Manyowa showered young fans with gifts and created touching moments as kids as young as eight confidently sang along to her biggest hits. Ever the nurturing mother and philanthropist, Janet invited the children on stage to perform before the packed auditorium, backed by a full Zimbabwean orchestra.
The youngsters excitedly belted out verses from her extensive catalogue, with the hit “Wakakosha” emerging as their favourite.
For many of them, ANOT became the perfect start to the year, a night of worship, joy, and inspiration that left them feeling blessed and uplifted.
