"Our goal with the "WELCOMEZION" Tour was to take it to the next level," said Jason Strong of Hillsong UNITED. "We believe we have been given an opportunity, and we want to make sure we do the best we can with that. Ultimately, it is about using what you have the best you can to bring glory to our Savior and King. We are excited to be doing some pretty famous venues, but our goal remains the same; that He is made famous and everything we do brings people closer to God."

So far this summer, the tour made stops at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, Rose Garden Arena in Portland, Ore., ShoWare Center in Seattle, Sleep Train Pavillion in Concord, Calif., Grand Canyon University Arena in Phoenix, Isleta Amphitheater in Albuquerque, N.M., and Verizon Theatre in Dallas.

Hillsong UNITED comments on the iconic venues during the "WELCOMEZION" Tour:

"Hollywood wasn't just a dream of ours, but a dream of many people to be there and to see such an iconic venue to be used for the glory of God and used for a night to worship God - and with the 15,000+ people there, you could definitely feel that!" Matt Crocker on the Hollywood Bowl

"It didn't surprise me, but sometimes when you are in a big setting it takes people a while to get going, especially in LA - but they were into it from the beginning." - Jad Gillies on the Hollywood Bowl

"More than just an incredible night, it is making a statement for the Church - which is what we are all about - and it is sending a message that the Church is rising and going from strength to strength and we are honored to be a part of that. Hopefully lives are changed forever through what Jesus is doing" JD on being involved in events at venues like Hollywood Bowl and Red Rocks

"It was the best night of my ministry life." Jad Gillies on the Hollywood Bowl

"We are excited about Red Rocks. You think of all the musicians and artists who have played there - it has been the best of the best. It is very humbling to be able to be here as part of the Church! We are hoping it will be another stake in the ground for the Church." JD on getting to play at Red Rocks

"I have had the feeling in a few venues around the world - it's not the size that counts, but it's the wait, the expectation, the anticipation - the thought of what has happened in these places before. It's when everything comes together and is a collision of all the things above. It's really difficult to put it into words." Joel Houston on Hollywood Bowl
