Spring 2011 Tour Features Special Guests
REVIVE (February), TENTH AVENUE NORTH (March-May) & TREVOR MORGAN
Tour Follows Release of Third Day’s New, Chart-Topping Studio Album MOVE
Four-time GRAMMY® Award-winning band Third Day will headline a massive 40-city tour across the U.S. this spring. The “Make Your Move” Tour will kick off Feb. 18, in Mercedes, Texas, with special guests Dove-nominated rock band Revive on dates in February, and progressive pop Dove Award winners Tenth Avenue North rounding out the remainder of the tour dates from March through May. Acclaimed singer/songwriter/guitarist Trevor Morgan will also join the tour’s roster in all markets.
The Make Your Move Tour follows the successful release of multi-platinum rock band Third Day’s 11th studio album, Move (Oct. 19), which debuted inside the Top 10 on Billboard’s Top 200 Albums chart and at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Current Contemporary Christian chart. The Atlanta-based band will perform selections from the new album which have already become concert highlights – including the hit radio single “Lift Up Your Face,” “Make Your Move,” “Gone” and “Children of God” – as well as long-time fan favorites that feature the group’s signature rock sound.
“The fan response to the new album Move has been better than we ever could have hoped,” says Third Day bassist Tai Anderson. “We can't wait to play the new music live and take the songs to a whole other place on the Make Your Move Tour. The show is going to be about the music and message that has given us the greatest and most supportive fans in the world, and we're going to deliver that music and message with renewed urgency and passion.”
As a unique price point option for concert attendees, all regular tickets for the Make Your Move Tour will be offered at $25 across the board. A special VIP ticket package will be available for purchase, including a prime-seating concert ticket, an exclusive Third Day poster, a Move CD and entry to a special VIP meet & greet. A group ticket package will be available, and Fan Club pre-sale dates will be announced soon.
The Make Your Move Tour is sponsored in part by Grand Canyon University ( www.gcu.edu) and Christian humanitarian organization World Vision ( www.worldvision.org). World Vision provides assistance to approximately 100 million people in nearly 100 countries by tackling the causes of poverty and injustice.
