Grammy-Award winner and one of the most successful touring artists in Christian music today, Chris Tomlin wrapped his co-headline Tomlin UNITED tour on June 17 after playing shows in some of the biggest markets across the U.S. During its 23-city run, the tour made Pollstar’s Top 10 Worldwide Tours list and Chris set a career attendance record with an unprecedented concert at LA’s Banc of California Stadium. Last week’s final run of dates included concerts at the Target Center in Minneapolis, T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, and the United Center in Chicago. Watch the official tour recap video HERE.
“I always say, there is nothing like the sound of the people of God, singing the praises of God, in the presence of God and to be able to experience that night after night is truly a gift” shared Chris. “A tour like this is not possible without the hard work of an incredible team… I am so grateful for my talented band and crew, Premiere Productions, and my dear friends of Hillsong UNITED who took every night to the next level. Lastly, to each of you who joined us across the country, thank you for making this tour one for the record books!”
Media touted, “it was more than a show-it was worship for the artists and audience.” “Many were so overcome by the music they were brought to tears. The outpouring of emotion was awesome to witness.”
The tour’s conclusion followed Chris’ appearance at CMA Fest in Nashville as the first-ever Christian genre artist to participate as “CMA Artist of The Day” as part of their CMA Close-Up Stage line-up. Luke Bryan, Kelsea Ballerini and Russell Dickerson rounded out the list of country artists who were highlighted during the four-day festival in its 49th year.
On September 9, Chris will release his next full-length project, “Always.” The title track was released to Christian radio in May and made its live debut on the Tomlin UNITED tour, The official live video for “Always” was filmed live from Chris’ annual “Good Friday Nashville” concert event and premiered exclusively with Facebook.
