Third Day’s ‘Soul On Fire’ Tour
The initial batch of dates is here for the spring leg of Third Day’s “Soul On Fire” Tour. The excursion begins following the release of the act’s first worship album in more than a decade.
Lead Us Back: Songs Of Worship is due out March 3. That night the band will celebrate the new LP with a show at the Beacon Theatre in New York with featured guest Matt Maher.
“We’ve wanted to do a worship album for quite a while but have been waiting for the right time. NOW is that time! I believe this is the best batch of songs that we have ever recorded!” vocalist Mac Powell said.
Bassist Tai Anderson adds, “Lead Us Back is a call to worship not just for our audience but the band as well. Why now? We’re ready for these songs. We’re ready to feel God’s spirit fall afresh on all of us again.”
Third Day’s first worship album, 2000’s Offerings – A Worship Album, and its follow-up, 2003’s Offerings II – All I Have To Give, are the band’s biggest selling albums of its career.
