"When we set out on this journey in 2003, we were the youth band from our church in Atlanta," says Casting Crowns lead singer/songwriter Mark Hall. "We were amazed that we were even given the opportunity to record our songs and play them for the world, and even more amazed that people wanted to hear them. Now, 20 years later, we are still just as amazed that we have gotten to be a little part of your story through the years with our stores and songs."

This milestone anniversary tour will commemorate two decades of Casting Crowns' expansive repertoire of chart-topping albums, featuring hit songs like "Scars In Heaven," "Only Jesus," "Nobody," "Praise You In This Storm, "East to West" and many more.

"This fall, as a way to celebrate all that God has done so far, we wanted to do something different," Hall continues. "We'll be bringing an orchestra, creating some really special, unique moments, sharing stories from our journey together, and playing the songs you've enjoyed from us since the beginning. We hope you will come out and celebrate and join us for this special 20th Anniversary tour!"
