Newsboys United coming to MAD
‘Greatness of Our God’ National Tour to be in El dorado in October
On the heels of the history-making #1 album, United, Christian music supergroup Newsboys United will return to the road this fall, visiting the First Financial Music Hall in El Dorado’s Murphy Arts District (MAD) on Oct. 18 for one of the genre’s most anticipated tours.
The “Greatness of Our God” Tour will once again bring together former members Peter Furler and Phil Joel with Newsboys’ Michael Tait, Duncan Phillips, Je Frankenstein and Jody Davis for an autumn outing bound for more than 30 cities around the country.
One of the most influential bands in Christian music history, Grammy-nominated, Platinum-selling Newsboys have sold more than 10 million units, amassed eight Gold certifications, 33 No. 1 radio hits, four Grammy nominations, two American Music Award nominations and multiple Dove Awards. Since their formation in
Australia three decades ago, Newsboys have released 24 recordings and their signature songs include “We Believe,” “He Reigns,” “Miracles,” “Born Again” and the Platinum-certified mega hit, “God’s Not Dead.”
Newsboys’ latest release, the groundbreaking United, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart following its May 10 release. The album is highlighted by the hit debut single “Greatness Of Our God,” a triumphant worship celebration and also includes “Love One Another,” pulsing praise anthem “Only The Son (Yeshua)”; “Symphony,” a call to complete surrender; and the worshipful “Set Me Ablaze.”
Taking the stage to perform such new United fan favorites as “Greatness Of Our God” and “Symphony,” the mega-group will also deliver hit after hit
spanning Newsboys’ iconic three decade career, from recent chart-toppers “God’s Not Dead” and “We Believe,” to classics like “Shine” and “Entertaining Angels,” among many others.
The tour will feature Grammy-nominated Gotee recording artist Ryan Stevenson, along with acclaimed singer/songwriter Adam Agee and a special guest appearance by former dcTalk member and singer/songwriter Kevin Max.
Newsboys United have played more than 150 shows together since reuniting in 2018. The six-member supergroup headlined the 43-city Winter Jam Tour Spectacular earlier this year and recently co-headlined “Surrounded & United: The Tour” with multi-Platinum, multi- Grammy-winning singer/songwriter Michael W. Smith. Newsboys United recently joined dcTalk and TobyMac among others on stage during the 2019 Jesus Freak Cruise.
