NASHVILLE, Tenn. / CHARLOTTE, N.C. (Feb. 20, 2026) — Today, GRAMMY®-winning group Elevation Worship has released its new live album SO BE IT. This 10-track album is the group’s 18th album. Rooted in the authority and sovereignty of God, the project captures a defining declaration of faith: when God speaks, His Word is final. Listen to SO BE IT now.

 

“SO BE IT feels so definitive, it feels like this isn’t just an album title; it feels like it’s something that is going to shape a season, an era, for us,” Elevation Worship’s Chris Brown offers. “It feels big enough to define the whole album. There’s testimony songs, as always, and songs about God’s faithfulness, but I think all the songs have these bold declarations that point to encountering the power of Jesus’ name, our personal relationship with Him, and our personal gratitude.”

 

With collaboration stitched into their DNA, through the years, the worship group has partnered with an impressive roster of artists, and SO BE IT writes their next chapter in collaboration. The new album features a circle of writers that includes Brandon Lake, Chandler Moore, Leeland Mooring, Pat Barrett, and Mitch Wong, as well as members of Elevation Worship.

 

“The night we recorded the album was electric,” Brown describes the recording session at Elevation’s main campus. “There’s so much excitement that was captured, and I think it’s a testament to what we’ve worked for years to build within our church and our culture. We want people to expect us to bring new songs they can sing and new expressions for their journey with the Lord.”

 

SO BE IT comes on the heels of 2024’s live project and Dove Award-winning, When Wind Meets Fire, GRAMMY-nominated song, “I Know A Name,” which is also featured on this new project, and the group’s biggest hit to date, “Praise.” The song spent a record-breaking 31 weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Christian Songs chart.

 

The 2026 Elevation Nights Tour kicks off February 26, and to celebrate the release of SO BE IT, the group is offering special-priced tickets for this weekend only. Fans can take advantage of all-in pricing, with tickets starting at $30 and select lower-bowl seats available for $50.
