First artist announcement
Ant Lee Is Back for Jesus Festival Hamilton 2026
After an absolutely awesome set last year, Ant Lee is officially returning to Gage Park. This is our first confirmed artist announcement — and we are excited.
Jesus Festival family — we have our first confirmed artist for 2026, and it is a good one.
Ant Lee is returning to Hamilton.
We are officially excited to announce that Ant Lee is back for Jesus Festival Hamilton 2026. After an absolutely awesome set last year, we are so grateful to welcome him again as we return to Gage Park on September 4–5.
Last year, Ant brought a set full of life, joy, energy, and Gospel purpose. It was fun, it was bold, it was family-friendly, and it carried the heart of what Jesus Festival is all about: lifting up the name of Jesus in the middle of the city.
A sound for a generation hungry for Jesus.
Ant Lee is a Christian hip-hop artist, speaker, and professional basketball player whose story points to using every gift for God’s glory. His music and message carry a call to purpose, identity, hope, and bold faith.
That matters to us. Jesus Festival is not simply about filling a schedule. Every artist, speaker, volunteer, vendor, and moment is part of a bigger prayer: that Hamilton would encounter the love and truth of Jesus.
“This is not about platform. This is about Jesus being lifted high.”
Hamilton, help us spread the word.
The full stage schedule is now live. Ant Lee Jr. will perform at approximately 4:10PM and 5:00PM on Saturday, with a testimony moment at approximately 4:40PM. Mark the date, share the news, and start inviting everyone you know.
Bring your family. Bring your youth group. Bring your church. Bring your neighbours. Bring the friend who needs hope. Jesus Festival Hamilton is free, family-friendly, and open to the whole city.
All glory to God.
We are still amazed by what God has done through the last two Jesus Festival Hamilton gatherings and through Jesus Festival Niagara. The testimonies, baptisms, salvations, outreach, worship, church unity, and love poured out in the city all belong to Him.
We are coming back to Hamilton with grateful hearts and expectant faith. Ant Lee is back. Jesus Festival 2026 is coming. And it is all for His glory.
— Daniel Ziedins
"Not to us, Lord, not to us but to your name be the glory, because of your love and faithfulness."
