NASHVILLE, TENN. (MARCH 12, 2025) Worship leader TAYA announces her first-ever headline US tour, which will begin in April. With one of the most recognizable voices in the worship genre, TAYA is thrilled to hit the road this spring with some of her dear friends for eight special nights on her 2025 Come Into The Light Tour. Each date will feature a special support artist, including Joe L Barnes, Leeland, Tiffany Hudson, and Mack Brock. Tickets are currently on sale and may be purchased here
 
"This tour is something I felt God drop in my heart over two years ago to do here in the United States, but for different reasons, it never eventuated…until now," shares TAYA. "I believe God’s timing and His alignment is perfect — and without either, I wouldn’t be walking into these nights with the stories and songs I now am. I’m incredibly honoured to announce that some of my dear friends, who have led and ministered to my own heart for many years, will be joining me these special nights!"
 
“I’m beyond excited to join Taya on this incredible tour," Joe L Barnes shares. "Her heart for worship is so inspiring, and I can’t wait to be part of these powerful nights of praise. I know God is going to move in a big way, and I’m honored to be a part of it!"
 
This collaborative tour with different support artists on each date showcases the beautiful worship community. 
“It’s been a joy getting to know TAYA these last few years," Tiffany Hudson states. "To be able to join her on this tour is an incredible honor for me. I can’t wait to worship with her and see how God moves.”
 
"I am so excited to get to go out on these nights with my friend, Taya. These nights of worship are gonna be truly special," Leeland exclaims.
 
Mack Brock shares, "I've had the privilege of touring with Taya a few different times over the years. The way she leads and commands a room with authority and grace is something rare and special. I know that these nights are going to be powerful - there is always power when God's people show up together, expectant and ready to worship. I cannot wait to be a part of these worship nights and experience what God is up to!"
 
Presented by TPR., see below for the tour dates and which artist will be supporting TAYA on that date.
TAYA concludes, "I pray these nights are an invitation, to stop and bring our whole lives before God again. Every good, messy, broken, and sweet piece and allow Him to have it all."

ABOUT TAYA: Taya Gaukrodger comes from a country town in the north of Australia. In 2010, she relocated to Sydney to pursue a music career. Soon after arriving, she got involved at Hillsong Church and began volunteering in youth and young adult ministries. The world first heard TAYA’s voice in Hillsong United’s ‘Oceans’ and ‘Touch The Sky,’ and from that moment, her voice became an unmistakable clarion call to worship across the world. TAYA is most passionate about worship that points people to Jesus, and she hopes to lead people to worship more authentically and passionately as they discover more about Him.
 
ABOUT JOE L BARNES: Joe L. Barnes, a 30-year-old singer and songwriter, grew up in a household filled with diverse musical influences, ranging from his mother’s gospel favorites like The Clark Sisters and Kirk Franklin to his father’s love for artists like Tracy Chapman and Amy Winehouse. This eclectic mix shaped his sound, which he describes as a blend of Gospel, Roots, Urban, R&B, Quartet, and Worship—his own musical “gumbo.” After spending two years as part of the award-winning Maverick City Music collective, where he co-wrote the Grammy-winning hit “Promises,” Barnes has now embarked on his solo journey with his debut album, The Good Shepherd. Inspired by Psalm 23, the album presents God as loving and near rather than distant or disappointed, offering ten faith-filled songs that bring revelation through music.
Barnes’s songwriting is sparked by conversations, melodies, and lyrical ideas, resulting in a dynamic range of worship music. Tracks like “Roll It Over” infuse soulful R&B with classic gospel instrumentation, while “Good Shepherd” reinforces a sense of belonging through soaring vocals. Collaborations with artists like Aaron Moses on “Living Proof” and Aaron Cole on the uplifting “Count Me In” add depth to the album’s message of faith and encouragement. Beyond music, Barnes is dedicated to impacting lives through his “Feed the 25” initiative, which focuses on nurturing his close community so they can, in turn, spread hope on a larger scale. With a clear vision for his life—balancing family, faith, and a thriving music career—he remains committed to following wherever God leads him. 
 
ABOUT LEELAND: Leeland is a Texas-based worship leader who serves as a singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist. Over the years, he has received multiple Grammy and Dove Award nominations. His music has always been deeply inspired by his passion for worship, both personally and within his community. Early on, his songs were shaped by experiences in youth group worship services, and he has consistently created music that speaks to the heart of worship and faith in God.
 
As Leeland’s journey has progressed, his music has continued to evolve. In 2023, he released City of God, an album that explores themes of pastoral and prophetic voices in worship, bringing together songs that unite the people of God in song. The lead track, "Heart and Flesh," featuring TAYA, expresses an inward longing to worship God. Leeland's dedication to crafting beautiful melodies and meaningful lyrics that inspire and lead others in worship is evident in his work. He remains committed to paving the way for future generations of worshippers, eager to see where this path leads. 
 
ABOUT TIFFANY HUDSON: Tiffany Hudson is a member of the award-winning collective Elevation Worship. Known for helming songs like “More Than Able,” “Sure Been Good,” and “New Thing Coming,” among many others, Hudson has quickly become one of Elevation Worship’s most recognizable voices. As a member of the multi-Platinum-certified group, Hudson has garnered a GRAMMY® Award, two Billboard Music Awards, eight GMA Dove Awards, and a K-LOVE Fan Award. With numerous songs consistently remaining in the CCLI Top 100, the acclaimed collective has also earned five No. 1 Christian radio hits, including “Graves Into Gardens,” “RATTLE!,” “Same God,” “Trust In God” and multi-week chart-topper “Praise,” their most explosive single to date. Yet, for Hudson, who became a first-time mom in 2024, the stats and shiny accolades are secondary to her life’s mission of making sure the Bride of Christ — the Church — “shines so beautifully, the way we’re meant to.” She’s simply grateful for the small part she gets to play in a much larger story.
 
ABOUT MACK BROCK: Mack Brock has been a worship leader and songwriter for over two decades. He has co-written songs that are sung in churches all over the world, including "O Come to the Altar," "Do It Again," "Resurrecting," "I Am Loved," and "Greater Things." Growing up as a pastor’s kid, Mack started leading worship at his dad’s church in high school. He then spent ten years as the music producer and a worship leader with Elevation Worship. Even after all these years, his greatest passion is still to see people encounter Jesus through worship. He has seen first hand how music can impact a person and how God can show up in a room when people worship together. Mack lives in Charlotte, NC, with his wife and their three kids.
