NASHVILLE, Tenn. - August 28, 2014 - Four-time GRAMMY® nominees and current chart-toppers Newsboys announce their fall We Believe Tour, where they'll be joined by special guests Family Force 5 and 7eventh Time Down. This extensive tour will hit 35 markets, kicking off Sept. 18, in Germantown, Tenn., and wrapping up Nov. 16, in Youngstown, Ohio.
Known for their electrifying live shows, Newsboys are continuing to tour in support of their album RESTART, and will hit the road with all the excitement and energy that makes them one of Christian music's most successful touring acts. The tour is named for the Newsboys track "We Believe," which is currently No. 1 on the Billboard Christian Airplay chart, a position it has held for the entire summer. This success followed the band's appearance in the spring's hit motion picture GOD'S NOT DEAD, which showcased the Newsboys performing their hit song "God's Not Dead (Like A Lion)." The film's success catapulted the song (which also appeared on both the Newsboys' God's Not Dead album and God's Not Dead - The Motion Picture Soundtrack) to RIAA Gold status, with more than 219,000 tracks sold this year alone (nearly 635,000 to date).
As an exclusive treat for the ultimate Newsboys fans, most We Believe Tour dates will offer a "VIP Experience" add-on ticket option, giving fans an opportunity to get up close and personal at each show. This add-on package includes early entrance into the venue, an exclusive VIP laminate and tour poster/brochure, a copy of the RESTART CD and an exclusive Q&A session with the band followed by a meet & greet with a photo opportunity and autograph signing. The "VIP Experience" will be limited to 100 tickets in each market.
The We Believe Tour will benefit Feed the Children, one of the world's leading anti-hunger organizations which works in the United States and around the world to create a world where no child goes to bed hungry distributing more than $344 million worth of food, essentials, education supplies, and medicine to more than 10 million individuals last year alone. Through Feed the Children's child sponsorship program, Newsboys fans will be able to make a lasting differences in the lives of children right here in the United States.
