LOS ANGELES, CA – American Idol is celebrating Easter with a special three-hour “Songs of Faith” episode, airing Sunday, April 20 at 8|7c on ABC and Gospel music icon CeCe Winans is set to deliver a soul-stirring performance.

Winans returns to the Idol stage following her critically acclaimed performance last season, which became one of the most-watched moments of the year across social platforms and streaming. The overwhelming audience response made her an easy choice to return for this year’s Easter celebration.

The 17-time Grammy-winning vocalist will be joined by American Idol alum Roman Collins —both partners of Compassion International, Jelly Roll, Brandon Lake, and The Brown Four for an unforgettable night of uplifting music, spiritual inspiration, and powerhouse performances.

In addition to the star-studded guest lineup, judges Carrie Underwood, Lionel Richie, and Luke Bryan will each step away from the judging panel to perform songs that reflect their personal faith and musical roots.

With its heartwarming blend of talent and testimony, the American Idol Easter Special promises to be a moving celebration of faith, hope, and the power of music to bring people together.

Tune in to American Idol’s “Songs of Faith” Easter Special on Sunday, April 20, at 8/7c on ABC.
