The Summer Worship Nights Tour was the first headlining tour by American Christian music artists Brandon Lake and Phil Wickham. The tour featured two legs, one throughout 2023 that began on August 10 in Tampa, Florida, and ended on September 2 in San Diego, California, and one throughout 2024 that will begin on August 1 in Detroit, Michigan and will end on August 28 in Honolulu, Hawaii. The tour was also third event ever held at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California after its opening a few days prior to that and concerts by Bruno Mars and Olivia Rodrigo.[1]

Background

[edit]

On March 2, 2023, Brandon Lake and Phil Wickham announced through their social media that they would be embarking on a 12-date summer tour that summer featuring Christian rapper KB.[2] Furthermore, the band announced 4 additional shows at the end of the tour in California that would feature We Are Messengers as the opening act.[3][4] The tour was a massive success, selling out many of the shows including the ones in Charlotte, Ontario, and Fort Worth among others, leading them to continue the tour into 2024.[5][6][7] The tour also caused Lake and Wickham to release music together, specifically the song "People of Heaven" which the duo used to close out their shows during the 2023 run of the tour.

On March 11, 2024, the artists announced the return of the tour through a video posted on their social medias.[8] The tour continued to visit arenas throughout the United States, and also visited the Waikiki Shell in Hawaii.[9] Again, the duo released music together as a result of the tour, this time the song "Love of God". Hulvey was the opening act for all of the 2024 shows.[10]

Movie

[edit]

On August 27, 2024, the duo announced a documentary about the tour titled "For the One", which follows Lake and Wickham on their adventure across this tour. The documentary was in theaters nationwide from October 27-29, 2024. It was directed by Noah Taher, produced by Ken Carpenter, and executively produced by Ben Howard.[11][12][13]

Cruise

[edit]

On June 3, 2024, the duo announced the Summer Worship Nights Cruise 2025, which will sail from June 21-26, 2025, and will visit Nassau, Princess Cays, and Grand Turk.[14][15][16]
