Third Day, TobyMac, Ayiesha Woods, Brenton Brown for London event in May

MULTIPLE Grammy and Dove Award winners Third Day and TobyMac will be the headline performers at the launch event of Louder, set to take place at London's Royal Albert Hall on 7th May. Both acts will be joined by critically acclaimed singer/songwriter Ayiesha Woods, South African worship leader Brenton Brown, London hip-hop group The 29th Chapter, US songsmith Kevin Max (who will join Toby Mac on stage for a few songs) and the African Children's Choir. It is hoped the event will provide support and awareness for African-based HIV/AIDS charities HOPEHIV, Sponsored Arts for Education and the African Children's Choir. Organisers XALTMUSIC and its partners hope to make Louder an annual event. Said Jude Brown, managing director of XALTMUSIC, "We are very excited to bring such a talented group of artists to London for the launch of Louder - which we like to think of as 'a show with benefits'! The HIV/AIDS pandemic in Africa really is something our generation can affect. We hope this show will help to 'inspire and motivate a generation' to worship - with songs and with action."
