Texas Gospel Music Show Debuts April 30 at E-Sports Arena Arlington with Six Major Acts
The Texas Gospel Music Show makes its debut April 30 through May 2, 2026, at the E-Sports Arena in Arlington, Texas. The event features Ernie Haase and Signature Sound, Greater Vision, and four other acts.
A new gospel music event is coming to North Texas. The Texas Gospel Music Show debuts April 30 through May 2, 2026, at the E-Sports Arena in Arlington, and organizers say it is built to honor the heritage of gospel music while presenting it to a new generation.
The event was formerly known as Battle of Songs Fort Worth. The rebranding reflects a broader vision: a multi-day showcase that brings together some of the most respected names in Southern gospel.
The lineup includes Ernie Haase and Signature Sound, The Inspirations, The Inspirationals Quartet of Texas, The Guardians, Mark Trammell Quartet, and Greater Vision. Each group has a long track record in Southern gospel, and together they represent a wide range of styles within the genre.
The E-Sports Arena Arlington seats several thousand and offers a modern production environment. Organizers say the venue choice is intentional: they want to show that gospel music can fill contemporary spaces.
Southern gospel has a deep history in Texas. The state has produced some of the genre's most enduring artists and has a loyal fan base that spans generations. The Texas Gospel Music Show is designed to tap into that tradition while building new audiences.
Tickets are available through the event's official website. The three-day format gives attendees the option to attend individual nights or purchase a full-event pass.
The Singing News, which covers Southern gospel extensively, has highlighted the debut as one of the notable events of the spring 2026 gospel calendar.
For fans in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, the show offers a rare chance to see multiple top-tier acts in a single weekend.
