Grand Rapids – Today, Premier Productions announces multi-platinum selling, multi-award-winning artists Chris Tomlin and UNITED will co-headline their long-awaited 2022 “Tomlin UNITED” Tour, set to kick off at the Greensboro Coliseum on February 9, 2022. Anticipated to be the biggest Christian music concert of the year, the Tomlin UNITED Tour will welcome thousands of fans each night to worship together and experience songs that have shaped modern faith today. Sponsored by illumiNations, the live worship experience includes 33 dates across the U.S., making stops in major markets including Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, Washington D.C., San Francisco, Miami and two shows in the New York area before ending in Duluth, GA on April 13.
The Hillsong UNITED and Chris Tomlin concert in Grand Rapids has been rescheduled from the original
date of March 1, 2022 to June 17, 2022. Tickets for the original date will be honored at the rescheduled date.
Tickets for the Grand Rapids date are available at Ticketmaster.com.
“We really believe this tour is going to be something unforgettable,” said Chris Tomlin and Joel Houston (UNITED). “We’ve been trying to do something like this for a long time and we have a real sense of trust in the fact that this is the right time. This is the moment for what God has been planning and in that, we think the timing has everything to do with the people joining us each night.”
After an 18-month delay, the “Tomlin UNITED” Tour aims to not only bring the church back together but also bring faith back to the center of our conversations. Expected to be an experience unlike any other, the tour offers friends, family, and strangers the opportunity to worship together again after what has been a long season of isolation. On their collective desire for the tour, Tomlin and Houston said, “At the heart of it, we want people to leave with the understanding that there is a greater hope in this world. This is a critical moment in time for people to be reminded that there is a true and living hope, and that’s Jesus. That is what we proclaim with these nights.”
Tomlin and UNITED are offering fans an exclusive pre-sale opportunity that provides advanced access to premium seats, exclusive access to rewards, and a chance to win the official grand prize: a flyaway package for two to attend the Los Angeles concert with the ultimate backstage experience. Other winners will receive VIP tickets for an exclusive tour experience. For more information on pre-sale access and a social media contest, visit: www.TomlinUNITED.com.
Tomlin and Houston further added, “Our prayer is that these nights of worship would be like coming home moments for people, people who have found themselves far from God. That they would experience something that feels like an anchor, a real moment where the spirit of God can do what only the spirit of God can do in people’s lives.”
