Newsboys kick off spring leg of 'God's Not Dead' tour this weekend

Newsboys will kick off the spring leg of their popular “God’s Not Dead Tour” on Friday, Feb. 15. The tour is scheduled to include more than thirty dates and conclude May 12. Building 429 will appear with Newsboys on the first half, while the second half will feature Britt Nicole, who is fresh off her role as a presenter at the 55th Annual Grammy Awards pre-telecast. All Things New and duo Campbell will appear on all tour dates.

Newsboys released "God’s Not Dead" on November 15, 2011. This rock-driven worship album finds front man Michael Tait and his band mates who’ve played together for two decades – Jeff Frankenstein (keys), Duncan Phillips (drums), and Jody Davis (guitar) –with some of today’s most widely church-embraced modern worship anthems as well as several original and never-before-released worship songs written by some of today’s biggest worship songwriters. Its title song,”God’s Not Dead,” topped CHR’s charts for seven weeks in a row, as well as hitting No. 1 at AC Radio. The album’s current No. 1 song is “Your Love Never Fails,” which has been at the top of the charts for six weeks at Hot AC (formerly CHR).

According to the band’s website, “ Over the course of their 2012 sellout tour, the Newsboys’ God’s Not Dead Tour has impacted thousands of lives, both locally and internationally, making it one of the most in-demand nights of worship, praise and celebration. This leg of the tour will again be sponsored by Compassion International, where more than 8,000 children were sponsored through last year’s partnership with the organization.
