This year’s theme will be “renew, revive, rejoice.” When speaking about the transition from Las Vegas to Atlanta, Jackson said “Well, you know, a lot had to do with COVID. We couldn’t go back to Vegas with the size of you know, a 10,000 audience and so that, and plus we were in Atlanta for some 10 years doing this show and had just a great, great audience.” Listen:
