KANYE WEST CONFIRM SHOW ON SUNDAY SERVICE LDS WEEKEND
Kanye West to perform 'Sunday Service' in SLC during LDS Conference weekend
Kanye West will perform his "Sunday Service" in Salt Lake City on Saturday, the Gateway's marketing director confirmed to 2News.
The religious concert will be performed at the Gateway at noon, between the first and second sessions of the Semi-Annual General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Also on Saturday, excommunicated Mormon bishop Sam Young will hold his "Protect Every Child" march.
Mayor Jackie Biskupski alluded to the event in a cryptic tweet on Friday afternoon, before city spokesman Matthew Rojas confirmed it to media.
West will perform Saturday at the Gateway for approximately an hour and a half, marketing director Jacklyn Briggs said. The performance will be free and open to the public.
West's musical worship gatherings started out as exclusive services for the rich and famous in California, but the rapper has taken lately to performing them across the country. Most recently, West performed a service in Detroit on Sept. 27, and thousands turned out for his performance in Jackson, Wyo. on Sept. 24.
At that service, the rapper performed with a choir of 80 singers flown from California, and "music included 14 choir pieces focused on worship and nontraditional hymns, as well as reworked versions of songs by No Doubt and Nirvana," according to the Associated Press.
Briggs said The Gateway would not be releasing any more information about the scheduled event, except to say that camping or setting up chairs would not be allowed in advance.
The center opens at 10 a.m.
Between LDS Conference, the "Protect Every Child" march, and now, West's concert, there could be as many as 70,000 extra people in Salt Lake this weekend, city spokesman Matthew Rojas said.
“Salt Lake City is accustomed to multiple events happening downtown at once. We are prepared and ready," he told 2News.
Rojas encouraged those traveling downtown to use public transportation, and to take advantage of new high-frequency bus lines operating on 200 South with service to the Gateway.
He also encouraged those not attending General Conference, "Sunday Service," or the "Protect Every Child" march to avoid the downtown area if at all possible.
