General admission will be $10 per person at the door. A VIP ticket will also be available for $50 per person and will include a Q&A with select artists, early entrance for premium seating, an exclusive tour t-shirt, a VIP laminate and more.
Since The Rock & Worship Roadshow first kicked off in 2009, the tour has performed more than 150 shows to an audience of 1.2 million. According to Pollstar in 2012, the hugely popular tour was named one of their Top 50 Tours for Mid-Year.
“The success of The Rock & Worship Roadshow over the last six years has been incredible,” shares Brian Seay, executive producer of the tour. “The quality and variety of the artists in our 2015 lineup ensures that we will continue to provide the entire family – parents and kids alike – with an unforgettable evening of ministry and music presented by Compassion International.”
Compassion International, the world’s largest Christian child development organization serving more than 1.4 million children, will again be the presenting sponsor of the tour.
“We are so excited to be back on the Roadshow,” shares Bart Millard, MercyMe’s lead vocalist and one of the tour’s founding members. “We collectively knew as a band we needed to take the year off to give other artists the opportunity to be part of the tour, and Third Day and Skillet did an outstanding job headlining the 2014 run. MercyMe did promise the fans that we’d be back, and we cannot wait for it to begin.”
Stay tuned for a full list of tour dates and markets, as well as other sponsors, which will be announced next month. For the latest tour information, check out the tour site theroadshowtour.com.
