NEWSBOYS: STAND TOGETHER TOUR

Certified-Gold recording artists NEWSBOYS have announced their Stand Together Tour with special guests Cochren & Co., Adam Agee, and Jeremy Rosado. Along with an October 6 date in Champaign, IL, the tour will also make stops in Missouri, Florida, Oklahoma, Georgia, Tennessee, and Texas throughout the fall.

Concertgoers will get to experience the unparalleled high-energy show NEWSBOYS offer every night they take the stage and get to hear many of their biggest hits along with newer songs from their latest album, Stand, such as the title track and the album’s debut radio single, “Magnetic.”

The group also recently released their take on the popular worship song “King of Kings”. This up-tempo version features additional vocals from Bart Millard of MercyMe.

NEWSBOYS are one of the most successful bands in Christian music history, having sold more than 10 million units across 23 recordings and garnering a long list of accolades, including 1 RIAA® Platinum certification and 8 Gold certifications, 33 #1 radio hits, four GRAMMY® nominations, two American Music Award nominations, and multiple Dove Awards.

NEWSBOYS debuted in 1987 with the self-produced release He’s Coming Back.  The album was recorded in the band’s native Australia and was available at the time on cassette only. The band has been touring, off and on, for the last 35 years. With signature songs like “We Believe,” “Born Again” and “God’s Not Dead” – which birthed a film franchise of the same name – NEWSBOYS have continued to collect career-defining accolades.
