THIRD DAY WILL BRING 30TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR TO TAMPA
TAMPA, FL – Following overwhelming demand from fans and strong ticket sales that saw over half of the first leg sell out, four-time GRAMMY award-winning band, Third Day, has announced Tampa’s Benchmark International Arena will join the second and final leg of its celebrated 30th Anniversary Tour on Friday, April 9 at 7:00 p.m. The newly announced date marks the final chapter of Third Day’s historic 30th Anniversary Tour, giving fans one last opportunity to experience the original members, Mac Powell, Mark Lee, David Carr and Tai Anderson, together as part of this landmark celebration. Featuring an unforgettable two-hour, career-spanning set packed with the hits that helped define Christian music for a generation, the tour has quickly become one of the most anticipated live events of the year, and one of the most ambitious production, video and lighting shows the band has ever put on. Joining Third Day on the final leg will be very special guest Zach Williams, with Scout and the Saints opening each evening.
“After seeing fans show up the way they did, we knew we weren’t quite done yet,” said Mac Powell. “We wanted to make sure we brought this tour to more cities across the country to continue to celebrate with more fans. This has been my favorite Third Day tour, period, and I look forward to finishing this lap with Mark, David and Tai.” Mark Lee added “This tour reminded us how powerful these songs still are and how deeply they’ve connected with people over the last 30 years. We didn’t know what to expect from this tour, but the response has been overwhelming from the fans.”
