Nashville, TN - February 24, 2011 - Announced in January, the award-winning band Newsboys are readying for their 25-city spring tour, "The Born Again Experience." With the support of Compassion International, the tour will bring the message of "A Night For The City To Serve The City." Proceeds of the tour will go towards a water well to be built in a community in need located in the Dominican Republic.
Redefining the live show experience, Newsboys is planning for a sure-to-be revolutionary and jaw-dropping set to get audiences on their feet while offering the evening's mission to offer hope, service and compassion to the community, for one another and for those in need of fresh water in the Dominican Republic. Each night of the tour hopes to bring a true partnership of service with the city for the city.
Newsboys will be joined on the tour by Kutless, Disciple, Carlos Whittaker, and special guest speaker Bob Lenz. As previously announced, a limited number of Platinum or Premium tickets are available for the VIP Born Again Experience, where concertgoers can participate in a meet and greet with the band, received autographed merchandise, and receive special venue seating. A portion of the VIP proceeds will go directly to the work and ministry of Compassion International. General tickets are now available, and for more information how to register for VIP tickets, please visit Newsboys.com.
