The tour is being produced by the Awakening Foundation. Full list of 2026 dates and markets below.
Founding members Mac Powell and Mark Lee recently shared their excitement on getting back on tour with Third Day, with Powell saying, “I’ve been getting asked the question for many years, ‘when is Third Day going to do a tour again’ and I’ve always said… One day soon I hope!” He continues, “I’m so excited that we finally get the chance to play music together again on stage and give our fans what they’ve been waiting for.”
Lee adds, ” Third Day has always been, first and foremost, a live band. The best way to celebrate 30 years is to get back together for a tour. I can’t wait to get back out on the road with these guys and put on a big show for our fans.”
Kicking off March 19, 2026, in Jacksonville, Fl., at the Vystar Veterans Memorial Arena, the industry-pioneering band will perform to arena-sized audiences in venues including the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, Ca., Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena and wrapping this reunion tour for the first and last time in THIRD DAY’s hometown Atlanta area, at the Gas South Arena on May 10, 2026.
