(NASHVILLE, Tenn.) August 12, 2008 – Sparrow Records Dove Award-winning modern rock band Starfield
from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, has gained quite a following here in the U.S. Even so, this year’s recipient of the
Gospel Music Association’s International Award takes its show overseas to share its music and message with fans in Europe
and the UK.
This month Starfield makes appearances in the United Kingdom and Europe, taking part in seven festivals including Flevo, Soul Survivor and Greenbelt. Starfield first performed for fans in Sweden at the Frizon Festival and headlined a show in Biel, Switzerland. Between performances at the UK’s Soul Survivor on August 13 and 18, the band will entertain audiences at Flevo in the Netherlands on August 14, Revo Fest in Germany on August 15 and Fuel Festival in Belfast, Ireland August 16. Before returning to North America, Starfield plays main stage at the Greenbelt Festival on August 22. In addition, the band is already confirmed to headline Scotland's Frenzy Festival in June 2009.
Starfield also played the Netherlands’ EO Youth Day in June. Says EO Youth Day Music Director Tim Dik, “I was very excited that Starfield would be playing EO Youth Day 2008. I saw the band several times in the U.S., and I knew immediately I had to invite them to the Netherlands. I was convinced that their great live performance and powerful worship songs would match perfectly with all the other things happening that day. With 30,000 visitors, EO Youth Day is Europe’s largest Christian youth event and is broadcast live on national television. It was an unforgettable experience for all of us.”
The band’s busy summer came on the heels of a spring tour in native Canada. The tour sold 18,000 tickets in just 16 cities with the largest sold-out show in Toronto welcoming 2,000 fans. Starfield will visit 12 Canadian cities again this September alongside Will Graham and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.
Returning to the States this fall, Starfield will be joined by new Sparrow Records artist Above the Golden State for a 35-city tour in October and November. Crisscrossing the country, the tour will kick off in Sacramento, Calif., work its way to New York City and finish in Seattle.
