A strong line up of recording artists will take the stage at the 2013 Super Bowl Gospel Celebration (SBGC) in New Orleans. 

In addition to Kirk Franklin, who will host, Bishop Morton, Fantasia, Lecrae and Donnie McClurkin are slated to perform. 

The annual celebration is sanctioned by the NFL as one of several events that take place every year in the days and hours leading up to professional football's biggest night. 

"In its fourteenth year, the Super Bowl Gospel Celebration is the first and only gospel event sanctioned by the NFL for Super Bowl Weekend. The concert series features Grammy Award-winning, multi-platinum selling gospel and contemporary Christian and mainstream artists, marquee NFL players and the NFL PLAYERS Choir," organizers report.
