Third Day’s Revelation Tour with Brandon Heath and Revive Kicks Off With Four Sold Out Shows

The Northeast is widely known to be a very difficult region for Christian music. With a smaller segment of the population identifying itself as evangelical, and a less robust network of Christian radio stations, the infrastructure that normally supports Christian music and specifically Christian tours is simply not intact. Throw in an economic crisis, and the formula for a successful Third Day show would seem to be nonexistent. Despite these facts, THE REVELATION TOUR has had an impressive showing in this region. In 3 days, Third Day performed for close to 8,000 fans in 3 cities. The McMurray, PA shows and Worcester, Mass shows were completely sold out with 3,000 + fans in Maine. Third Day currently has four sold out dates for the THE REVELATION TOUR. Mac Powell commented from stage at the sold out Palladium Theater that he enjoyed the audiences of the Northeast because their faith costs them something. “In the south, there is a church on every corner. If you’re born in America, and you haven’t killed anybody, people call themselves Christians. Up here, you appreciate the cost of following Christ.” “We’ve really enjoyed this run,” says bass player Tai Anderson. “The crowds are so enthusiastic, and it feels like they’re really appreciative that we’re here. We’re committed to coming back often, and hope that other Christian bands will make it a priority.” To learn more about Third Day, please visit: www.ThirdDay.com.
