Alternative rock group Skillet will headline the Winter Jam Tour Spectacular, Christian music's largest annual tour when it kicks off January 6, 2012. The Grammy®-nominated group NewSong founded the tour that is entering its 17th year and will serve as hosts.
The 47-city tour features Sanctus Real, former Newsboys frontman Peter Furler, Kari Jobe, Building 429, Group 1 Crew, illusionist Brock Gill, and national speaker Nick Hall. In addition, the OneVerse Pre-Jam Party will include performances from Dara Maclean, For King & Country, and We As Human. VeggieTales' Bob and Larry will also make a special appearance.
The tour kicks off January 6 at the Charleston Civic Center in Charleston, West Virginia and concludes April 1 at Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids, Michigan after several stops along the way. Admission to Winter Jam is $10 at the door and no tickets are required.
Since its formation by NewSong in 1995, Winter Jam has featured many top names in Christian music, including TobyMac, Third Day, Newsboys, Steven Curtis Chapman, and Jeremy Camp, among others. The Winter Jam 2011 Tour Spectacular outpaced attendance for all other tours in the first quarter, including Bon Jovi, U2, Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber, according to Pollstar’s 2011 Worldwide First Quarter Ticket Sales “Top 100 Tours” chart.
