“As the name suggests, this whole album is for people and we wanted you to be encouraged that these songs can be played in all different forms, not limited to the album setting or arrangements,” says UNITED’s Taya. “So whether it’s for church services or small gatherings, or playing these songs with just an acoustic guitar in your bedroom - wherever you find yourself, we pray these songs would put joy in your heart, courage in your belly, and a big ol’ smile on your face.” 

In support of their new music, Hillsong UNITED returned to the United States in April 2019 for the first time in nearly three years for their People Tour. With multiple sold-out shows including LA’s Staples Center, NYC’s Madison Square Garden and D.C.’s The Anthem, the group just announced that it will be expanding their tour with six new dates in September. Presented by Premier Productions, cities added include Jacksonville, Indianapolis, Milwaukee, Louisville, Oklahoma City and Bossier City. Tickets for the newly added dates are available now at hillsongunited.com. 

“We couldn’t be more excited to be announcing new dates for the People Tour," shares Hillsong UNITED's JD. "We have been making music and touring for a while now but something feels different about this tour…it’s hard to put into words what God is doing each night as we have been traveling around this great nation, but it’s clear He is moving in the most powerful way we’ve experienced and we don’t want anyone missing out. Hope you can come and join us!" 

Undisputedly one of the genre’s most influential artists in the history of contemporary Christian music, Hillsong UNITED has sold more than 4.7 million albums globally and garnered over 3.1 billion worldwide career streams to date.

Comprised of an evolving, eclectic mix of musicians and songwriters, the band is led by Joel Houston and Taya, names that have become synonymous with Christian radio, dominating airwaves with every new release. Their last four studio albums have each topped the USA Christian chart, with "Zion" and "Empires" charting no. 1 ("Zion" recently also went Gold in the U.S.); “Oceans,” written by Houston and band member Matt Crocker recently went triple platinum in the States, counting 200+ million streams and reigning on top of the Christian songs chart for a record 54 weeks. In studio, on tour or at home, Hillsong UNITED is committed to writing songs that speak truth, create a unique sound and connect people everywhere with God, evident by the success they’ve seen globally.
