On the heels of their highly successful  22-city “Tomlin UNITED Tour” out earlier this year, the multi-platinum selling and multi-award-winning artists Chris Tomlin and UNITED are announcing the addition of a third leg coming this fall. The tour, named by Pollstar as a ‘Top 10 Worldwide Tour,’ will continue to welcome thousands of worshippers each night as one of the biggest Christian concert events continues with dates beginning November 3. Tickets for the “Tomlin UNITED Tour” will go on sale Thursday, September 1 at TomlinUNITED.com. Patrons can sign up now for the pre-sale at TomlinUNITED.com.

“Something powerful happens when we come together, all the streams of the church, to worship in Unity and One voice… it’s more than a concert, it’s an opportunity for us to join in the eternal praise,” shared Chris. “My prayer and belief for these nights with United is that everyone in the building, myself, the attendees, the musicians, the crew, each person working at the venue – everyone – is met by God right where they are in life and has an encounter that reminds us of the hope we all have in Him.”

“In light of what our world has collectively been through in the last couple of years and the journey we have personally been through, being able to gather and worship together has been something that has brought much joy and encouragement,” shared Jonathon Douglass of UNITED. “That’s why we are so looking forward to continuing the journey of this tour to share and experience who God is and how he is present with each and every one of us right now! We look forward with great expectation to these nights with a great faith that God is going to move in our lives and bring joy and encouragement personally to everyone who joins with us!”

The fall leg will visit a dozen major cities across the U.S. including St. Louis, Seattle, Salt Lake City, Indianapolis, Charlotte and more. Music critics claimed the “Tomlin UNITED Tour” was ‘more than a concert- it was a worship experience for the performers and audience’ and ‘many were so overcome by the music they were brought to tears. The outpouring of emotion was awesome to witness.’

With a combined hope that this tour will help reunite the church, Tomlin and UNITED remained focused on launching the tour throughout an 18-month delay due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Premier Productions is the national tour promoter and World Vision will serve as the tour sponsor.

On September 9, Chris will release his next full-length project, Always. The title track was released to Christian radio this spring and made its live debut on the “Tomlin UNITED Tour” earlier this year. The official live video for “Always” was filmed live from Chris’ annual “Good Friday Nashville” concert event and premiered exclusively with Facebook.

UNITED released their new full-length studio album earlier this spring, Are We There Yet?

Grammy-Award winning artist Chris Tomlin is set to release a new full-length worship project, ALWAYS, on September 9th and is revealing the cover, track listing, featured artists, Pre-Order here and a new song “Holy Forever” today!

The album contains 13-tracks, 12 of which were co written by Chris, including the title-track single “Always” which was released to Christian radio in May. Chris performed the song live for the first time on the “Tomlin UNITED tour” (a Pollstar Top 10 Worldwide tour) this spring and was inspired by Hebrews 13:8, “Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever.”

The song’s official live video was filmed during Chris’ annual “Good Friday Nashville” concert and premiered exclusively with Facebook.  Featured guests on ALWAYS include Elevation Worship, Brandon Lake, and Steffany Gretzinger. The project was produced by Ben Glover, Bryan Fowler, Ed Cash, Jeff Sojka, Jonathan Smith and Dave Haywood of Lady A who co-produced “The Answer” alongside Ben West.

“These songs were written with the intention of helping people connect with God,” shared Chris. “And already throughout just the beginning of this process, with the songwriters, our families and friends, and the incredible team that helps bring these songs to the world, I have started to see God take these songs and impact hearts and lives. My prayer is that god continues to take this music and use it in ways I could have never imagined… in ways only He could and in that, points the glory back to Him.”

The album follows Tomlin’s highly successful projects Chris Tomlin & Friends, released in 2020 and Chris Tomlin & Friends: Summer EP released in 2021.

As one of the most sought-after Christian touring artists of the modern era, Grammy winner Chris Tomlin wrapped his third set of back-to-back “Worship At Red Rocks” concerts earlier this week in one of North America’s most iconic, intimate, and scenic venues. His return was his fifth visit overall (2013 & 2015) after becoming the first Christian artist in history to headline two consecutive nights in 2017, repeating that history in 2019 and again this year with a combined total of over 60,000 in attendance.

The inclement cold weather and severe rain showers during both nights, were no deterrent for the worshippers who were determined to be a part of an intimate experience at the historic venue.

“Worship At Red Rocks” followed Chris’ annual “Good Friday Nashville” (GFN) event held in person at Bridgestone Arena for the first-time post pandemic. This year’s GFN concert expanded globally with an exclusive Facebook live stream and a radio simulcast with K-LOVE and Air1. On June 1, Chris will resume the “Tomlin UNITED Tour”, a Pollstar [Live 75] Top 10 tour, at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey before the tour wraps on June 17. In the first leg of the tour Chris set a career attendance record with an unprecedented concert at LA’s Banc of California Stadium.

This weekend, Chris is nominated for Worship Song Of The Year at Christian music’s biggest fan event, the K-LOVE Fan Awards and will perform his latest single “Always” which is impacting radio now. The show will be filmed to air on TBN June 3, airing back to back at both 8pm and 10pm ET.

Chris was recently asked to be a part of Nashville’s largest country music festival, CMA Fest, as a “CMA Artist of The Day” as he performs at Music City Center for the final day of the four-day event. Other featured Artists of the Day at the 2022 summer event include Kelsea Ballerini and Luke Bryan.

Grammy award winning artist Chris Tomlin is partnering with Facebook to expand his Good Friday Nashville event to a global audience through an exclusive livestream premiering on Facebook. Good Friday Worldwide will be live from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on Friday, April 15th at 7pm CDT where Chris is thrilled to finally be back, live and in person, for a powerful worship experience. Tickets are available now to attend the concert at Good Friday Nashville or go to Facebook.com/christomlin to live stream on April 15.

Chris spoke to the Tennessean about the event HERE. “There’s nothing like being there with people and gathering with people. It (Good Friday Nashville) just keeps growing and growing and growing … with what we’re able to do,” Chris said. “But the heart of it is the same. Coming together to remember the cross, to remember this weekend. That’s what Easter is: It’s a remembrance of what Jesus has done for us.”

During the pandemic the last two years when a live concert was not possible, Chris was committed to finding a way to maintain the tradition in light of the inability to gather together physically. Chris called his friends to help and to partner together for Good Friday Worldwide. The television network TBN and more than 30 radio stations offered their support to bring the world together during this time. The virtual concert delivered the message of hope that comes from the cross while uniting the church in worship. The television broadcast was seen in 32 countries around the globe. In that spirit of unity and collaboration, everyone brought their unique gifts, audiences, and voices together to meet people wherever they were, all at the same time and in the same moment across this world, delivering the message of hope that comes from the cross while uniting the church in worship.

Throughout the history of Good Friday Nashville and Good Friday Worldwide, K-LOVE and Air1 radio have partnered alongside Tomlin in making the event a local, and now global, tradition. The stations are continuing their support this year by delivering a live simulcast of the concert on air that night.

Good Friday Nashville’s concert proceeds will go to foster care and adoption crisis through ‘For Others’ to distribute on a local level to Tennessee Kids Belong this year. ‘For Others’ is a non-profit foundation created by Chris and his wife Lauren, a non-profit aiming to close the gap between children-in-need and capable care providers through raising awareness, maximizing resources, and mobilizing communities. Learn more at www.forothers.com.

“Good Friday Nashville is one of the most rewarding things I have ever been a part of. When this event began 5 years ago, I had a dream it might become an annual thing…a tradition for family and friends to come together, to celebrate, to remember,” shared Chris. “As we got closer to that first Good Friday, I felt a need to make this night more than just a concert. My wife, Lauren, and I had felt a calling to shed light on the foster care and adoption crisis in our nation. It was through that and our first Good Friday that our non-profit, For Others, came to be. And so, each year Good Friday Nashville benefits helping children find forever homes across our state. So, when you join us for this powerful night of worship… know that you are a part of making a difference in so many lives.”

Since its inception in 2017 Good Friday Nashville has sold out each year, smashing attendance records by becoming the largest ticketed Christian concert in the history of the venue and continuing to accomplish similar feats each year.  Plans are currently in place for Chris to continue the Good Friday concerts indefinitely.  Each of the previous Good Friday Nashville concerts, Chris has surprised concert goers by inviting special guests including Hillary Scott (Lady A) in 2017, Rascal Flatts in 2018 and Lauren Daigle in 2019 to the stage. The tradition continued during Good Friday Worldwide with guests We The Kingdom and Pat Barrett in 2020 and Lady A in 2021. This year’s historic return will be no exception.

Good Friday Nashville is produced by Awakening Events who have enjoyed a 17-year touring relationship with Chris and offer their time and talents to this concert benefit as well. Good Friday Nashville is presented by K-LOVE, Air1, The Fish and WAY-FM.Last week, Chris released new music with a 2-track single entitled “Always”, including the songs “Always” and “YAHWEH (No One) [with Elevation Worship].” It is available now at all digital retailers and can be found HERE. Watch lyric videos for each song HERE.

“Hebrews 13:8 says, ‘Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever,’ and that is the heart behind my new song ‘Always’” shared Chris. “The God we read about in the scriptures… The God of signs and wonders is the same God we worship today and is the same God we put our trust in for the future.”

The song “Always,” co-written by Chris, is uploading to Christian radio immediately and adding to radio airplay on May 13. The 2-track single is available now at all digital retailers and can be found HERE.

Chris continued, “I have always tried to write songs that help give people a voice to worship God and my prayer is that when people hear this song, their faith is strengthened, and they are reminded of the steadfast and unchanging hope we have in God.”

Both songs are from the 2020 Chris Tomlin & Friends album that debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Christian Albums Chart and #9 on Billboard’s Top Current Albums Chart. A companion EP was released last summer with four additional songs.

This spring, Chris will headline ‘Good Friday Nashville’ on April 15th in between legs of the 20+ city ‘Tomlin UNITED’ tour and play back-to-back concerts at Red Rocks Amphitheater in Denver on May 23 and May 24. This will be Tomlin’s fifth visit to the iconic Colorado venue, after becoming the first Christian artist to headline two consecutive nights; he repeated history in 2019. His GFN concert returns to Bridgestone Arena after postponing an in person shows in 2020 and 2021 due to the global pandemic.
