Winter Jam 2013 lived up to its name on Thursday night, but thousands of fans didn’t let little things like freezing temperatures and blowing snow keep them from attending the extremely popular Christian pop rock event. This “Tour Spectacular†returned to the Ford Center for the second year in a row, with a total of 10 bands and artists sharing the stage. When the arena reached capacity, several of the bands rotated out to a second stage located in the main lobby to play short sets for the fans there. The main stage featured performances by Red, Matthew West, Jamie Grace, Newsong, headliner TobyMac, speaker Nick Hall, and more.
“Winter Jam is proving to be a successful event here at the Ford Center,†stated Executive Director Scott Schoenike. “Last year’s concert was very well attended, and tonight there was a turnout of more than 10,000 people. It’s great to see so many families and groups enjoying the atmosphere of this show.â€
