Tickets went on sale Wednesday, February 20, for a concert by the Grammy-nominated and Dove Award-winning Christian pop-rock band Newsboys, performing with singer/songwriter Britt Nicole at 7 p.m. April 11 in the Convocation Center at Cal U.
Opening for Newsboys are the band All Things New and the duo Campbell.
A five-time winner of the Gospel Music Association’s Dove Award, Newsboys has five gold albums to their credit and 28 No. 1 radio hits. Their 2010 album, Born Again, reached No. 4 on the overall billboard chart.
In addition to Newsboys’ top hits, the playlist for the concert at Cal U will include songs from the band’s current album of rock-driven worship anthems, God’s Not Dead, including “Your Love Never Fails,” which has been No. 1 for six weeks in a row at Hot AC radio.
Appearing with Newsboys is the Nashville-based singer/songwriter Britt Nicole, a Grammy nominee for her 2012 album, Gold. The artist says her danceable, pop-inspired songs “send a potent yet joyful message of self-worth” to her growing cadre of fans.
