Louder Than The Music

A new Christian festival tour with a major fundraising component to benefit local communities will take place in three US cities this summer. The Life & Faith Tour kicks off in Richmond Virginia on 19th June and continues in Rockingham North Carolina on 10th July before ending in Atlanta on 24th July. At each location a diverse lineup of artists will perform as well as Christian comedians, authors, motivational speakers and more.

Artists lined up to perform at the event include six-time Grammy Award winner Amy Grant, multi-platinum selling band MercyMe, CMA Award winners Diamond Rio, Grammy Award winner Israel Houghton, Mary Mary, Point of Grace, David Crowder*Band, Natalie Grant and Meredith Andrews.

Tickets are available now for $47.50 and $10 of that automatically goes to a local organization. If the ticket buyer doesn't choose a beneficiary, a default organization in each city will benefit, ensuring that the community benefits from every ticket sold. Organizations will range from local churches and youth groups to the YMCA, Red Cross and other worthy civic groups.

"This is truly an effortless act, all organizations have to do is talk about the show, and then when a patron goes to buy a ticket, that organization gets $10 just for the referral," organiser Ronnie Jackson explains. "When purchasing a ticket, patrons will be able to choose a church or organization where their ticket proceeds will go. Each Life & Faith venue can hold 70,000 people so a sellout crowd would leave that community with $700,000 as the tour busses pull out of town. It is truly a remarkable way to give back to the community."
