Press release

Three of the most influential names in Christian music are joining forces for one of the most anticipated tours of the decade. This fall, TobyMac, Chris Tomlin and Third Day will hit the road together for a powerhouse tour bringing decades of hits and unforgettable live moments to fans across the country. Presented by Compassion International and supported by K-LOVE, tickets for this special tour go on sale at noon May 20.

The show visits KeyBank Center in Buffalo on Nov. 13.

With a combined legacy that includes countless RIAA Gold and Platinum-certified albums, over 55 No. 1 singles, and multiple Grammy Awards, TobyMac, Chris Tomlin and Third Day are joining forces this fall for a once-in-a-lifetime tour fans won’t want to miss. For the first time ever, these three powerhouse headliners will share one stage, rotating closing sets each night to create a unique experience in every city. Three headliners. No filler. From TobyMac’s epic anthems, to Tomlin’s genre-defining worship songs, to Third Day’s iconic Southern rock sound, each night will deliver a hit-packed setlist filled with current chart-toppers, fan favorites, and the songs that have shaped Christian music for decades. It’s the kind of event that inspires road trips, group texts, and cleared calendars for this rare opportunity to experience three of the genre’s most influential artists together in one unforgettable night.

“What a tour lineup! These are some guys I’ve always respected, not only as artists but also off stage as my brothers,” TobyMac said. “Third Day allowed me to open for them on my first big tour as a solo artist, and Chris and I toured together back in the summer of 2010. It will be a night diverse in musical styles and sounds but woven together in the heart and soul.”

Tomlin said, “I have the utmost respect and admiration for the impact that Toby and Third Day have had ... and am still in shock we have this opportunity to share these nights! Worship is transformational when experienced together. I am excited to worship with everyone this fall! I pray these nights leave a lasting impact on each community.”

Third Day added, “We've been friends and fans of Toby and Chris for as long as we can remember. Touring with Toby over the years has always been a blast, but joining forces with Toby and Chris for a run like this feels historic and, honestly, like we're about to have way too much fun.”
