MercyMe Announces the "Together Again Tour" That Will Hit Van Andel Arena Sunday, Oct. 8

Featuring Special Guests Crowder and Aaron Ripp
05/05/2023
GRAMMY®-nominated band MercyMe has announced the line-up and routing for their fall "Together Again Tour." Joining the band to hit Grand Rapids, MI at Van Andel Arena on October 8 are past tourmates Crowder and Andrew Ripp. Tickets go on sale Friday, May 12 at 10AM at VanAndelArena.com.

This spring the band has been touring across the U.S. in support of their latest best selling project, ALWAYS ONLY JESUS, which feature's the No. 1 hit "Then Christ Came" and their new single, "To Not Worship You," coming May 19. About the song, lead singer Bart Millard said, "I think with this song, I better realize what being still and knowing that He is God means. A lot of times when we have doubt or we're questioning stuff, I think ultimately it's because we're not stopping and remembering who God really is. When you take the time to remember who God is, then it's easy to ask, ‘who are we to not worship him?’"
