Industry veterans, Newsboys will be joined by Danny Gokey and Mac Powell for a night of music with a shared purpose. “The last couple of years have been tough for everyone and we have really missed coming together with our fans to worship and celebrate with one another every night. We’re looking ahead to the new year, excited for what’s to come, and we can’t wait to continue to reunite with our fans across the country and stand together in unity,†said Michael Tait, lead singer of Newsboys. In the 26 years since the release of Hell is for Wimps, the Christian rock band has continued to exert a massive influence on the music industry and draw music-loving audiences from around the world. In October 2021, the band celebrated the release of their 20th studio album Stand.
American gospel singer Danny Gokey was a finalist on season 8 of American Idol and quickly became a favorite of millions. Following Idol, his first album My Best Days debuted at #4 on the Billboard Top 200 album chart. He has celebrated a series of #1 album releases spawning singles like “Hope In Front of Me,†“Rise,†“The Comeback,†“Love God Love People,†and RIAA Certified Gold singles “Tell Your Heart to Beat Again†and “Haven’t Seen It Yet.†Danny has cemented his place on the radio charts with multi-week, multi-chart top-ten runs in the US, Canada and now Latin markets with his Spanish singles. He has been honored with three Grammy nominations, three wins as KLOVE Male Vocalist of the Year and two Dove Awards.
After two decades of success, including 4 Grammy Awards and 24 Dove Awards, with Christian rock band Third Day, Mac Powell has transitioned to a thriving solo career. His most recent record, titled New Creation, debuted at #3 on Billboard’s Top Christian Album Chart in October of 2021. American Songwriter notes, “Mac Powell’s distinctive vocals are a staple of the Christian music genre, whether it’s within his work with the Grammy-winning rock band Third Day or out on a solo venture.â€
