The management of Ghanaian gospel minstrel Celestine Donkor has dismissed reports suggesting her upcoming concert in Italy has been cancelled.

The concert, titled Exceptional Gratitude, is scheduled to take place on Saturday, 28 June 2025, at the Teatro Cittadella in Modena, Italy.

The misinformation, which surfaced online in the form of edited event flyers marked “cancelled”, has been described by Celestine’s management as a deliberate attempt to sabotage the programme.

“This is an evil attempt by some individuals to obstruct the show,” said Kofi Donkor, the singer’s manager.

“The general public, especially fans of Celestine Donkor in Germany and Italy, should ignore the rumours and prepare for the event,” he added.

The event is being organised by TAG Events and marks the second edition of the Exceptional Gratitude worship concert series.

The 2025 edition will feature Celestine Donkor as the headline act, alongside a line-up of guest ministers including McDaniels OB from Düsseldorf, Germany, Lizzy and Gloria Sarfowaa from Sassuolo, Italy, and Minister Felix from Modena, Italy.

Doors open at 15:00 DST with a red carpet session, followed by the main event at 16:00 DST. Tickets are available at a pre-sale rate of €25 and €30 at the gate. A special family package is also being offered at €50 for two adults with two children under ten.

Celestine Donkor is one of Ghana’s leading gospel musicians, known for her exceptional vocal dexterity and impactful worship ministry.

She is the founder of the Celestial Praise concert and has produced several gospel hits such as ‘Agbebolo’ (Bread of Life), ‘Final Say’, and ‘Only You’. Her ministry has taken her across Africa, Europe, and North America, where she has consistently used her music to inspire hope, faith, and gratitude.

The Exceptional Gratitude concert is expected to draw gospel music lovers from various parts of Europe, particularly the Ghanaian and wider African diaspora communities in Italy and neighbouring countries.
