Maverick City Music, Kirk Franklin Add 14 Arena Dates
Contemporary gospel giants Maverick City Music and Kirk Franklin are adding 14 arena dates to their “Kingdom Tour.”
The Live Nation and Undivided Touring-produced tour put Maverick City in the Top 10 of Pollstar‘s Live75 for stretches of the summer.
The added dates, which will carry the tour through much of November, begin Nov. 3 at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center and wrap November 22 at Austin, Texas’s Moody Center. See the full routing below.
“Having 13,000 people in a room worshiping and encountering God together feels like the good old days” says co-founder and CEO of Maverick City Tony Brown. “It’s something unspeakable. These rooms are a representation of what church looks like, all nations and backgrounds coming together to love God and one another.”
Maverick City won its first Grammy for Best Contemporary Christian Music Album for its project with Elevation Worship, “Old Church Basement,” this year and are nominated for seven Dove Awards.
In June, Maverick City and Franklin released “Kingdom Book One,” a live album recorded at Florida’s Everglades Correctional Institution.
Box office reports submitted to Pollstar for Maverick City Music include a July 24 show at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles that sold 10,694 tickets and grossed $590,735.
