(High Point, N.C.) Feb. 7, 2017 - Grammy® Award nominated, Platinum-selling band Newsboys in partnership with Premier Productions announces the 2017 extension of the Love Riot Tour. In addition, the band donated more than 3,000 tickets to First Responders and their families in a two-day "Buy One, Give One" special offer. "We want to start a LOVE RIOT and blessing these First Responders is a way to help change the world," said Michael Tait, lead singer for the Newsboys. During these two days for each ticket purchased, one will be donated to a First Responder through the non-profit organization Serve & Protect. "At a time when the law enforcement community needs encouragement, the Newsboys' tribute to the First Responder community is a beacon of hope," said Robert Michaels, CEO and founder of Serve & Protect. The non-profit organization's mission is to locate and facilitate trauma services for public safety professionals with symptoms of post-traumatic stress syndrome, addictions or both. The Love Riot Tour kicked off last weekend and will stop in more than 50 cities nationwide. The "Buy One, Give One" initiative is one more way to give back to the community through music. "As the tour promoter, we have the privilege of working closely with the Newsboys and seeing the heart of this band," said Robyn Klass, marketing director with Premier Productions. "We are thrilled that many First Responders and their families throughout the country will get to be a part of the Love Riot Tour!"  Love Riot Tour Dates: Feb 9 Feb 10 Feb 17 Feb 12 Feb 16 Feb 17 Feb 18 Feb 19 Feb 23 Feb 24 Feb 25 Feb 26 Mar 2 Mar 3 Mar 4 Mar 5 Mar 9 Mar 10 Mar 11 Mar 12 Mar 16 Mar 17 Mar 18 Mar 19 Mar 23 Mar 24 Mar 25 Mar 26 Mar 30 Mar 31 Apr 1 Apr 6 Apr 7 Apr 8 Apr 9 Apr 20 Apr 21 Apr 23 Apr 27 Apr 28 Apr 29 Apr 30   May 4 May 5 Landmark Theatre Syracuse, NY Santander Arena Reading, PA Wicomico Youth & Civic Center Salisbury, MD Crown Center Theatre Fayetteville, NC Cross Insurance Center Bangor, ME Palace Theatre - Albany Albany, NY Mohegan Sun Arena Wilkes Barre, PA Salem Civic Center Salem, VA Central Community Church Wichita, KS The Oil Palace Tyler, TX United Wireless Arena Dodge City, KS Fort Smith Convention Center Ft.
