(High Point N.C.) March 4, 2016 - Australian-based worship group Hillsong UNITED is adding a string of spring and summer dates to their North American EMPIRES Tour. The new shows will feature special guest Lauren Daigle. Following a February capacity-crowd tour run, the second leg of cities kicks off in Baltimore on April 28 with stops across the country throughout April, May and July. Tickets for Empires Tour April and May dates are on sale now, and tickets for Empires Tour July dates go on sale Friday, April 8, 2016.

"We haven't really done our own thing in the USA since WelcomeZion 2013, so we are super excited to be bringing the EMPIRES tour to the states," said Joel Houston of Hillsong UNITED. "We write songs to be sung with people - they are always for the people - so when we get to sing these songs with people on the road, it is the purpose of why we do what we do! We can't wait to worship with people singing all the new EMPIRES songs as well as everyone's favorites."

Hillsong UNITED's Empires Tour is making stops in arenas transforming the concert venues into nights of worship and music during their spring and summer trek across the United States and into Canada.

"Our hope always has been that people bring someone who doesn't know Jesus and who might not feel comfortable in a church, but would be okay with going to an arena," said Taya Smith of Hillsong UNITED. "We are called to be invitational with the love, hope, mercy and grace that we have encountered ourselves."
