Third Day's 45-city Miracle Tour will bring the powerhouse contemporary Christian band to Chattanooga on Sunday, April 21.
Third Day released "Miracle" in November and began the tour in February, soon realizing that with that name, "the bar has been set high," according to the band's website. "There is an expectation that this truly will be a miracle tour: onstage, for the audience, backstage, in the dressing room, in the tour bus."
"Miracle" is the latest collection in a long and impressive body of work that has earned Third Day four Grammy Awards (out of 11 nominations), 24 GMA Dove Awards (42 total nominations), one certified platinum album and eight gold albums.
Special guests are Colton Dixon and Josh Wilson. Dixon was a finalist on Season 11 of "American Idol." His debut album, "A Messenger," premiered at No. 1 on three of Billboard's Christian & Gospel Album charts, as well as No. 15 on Billboard's Top 200 chart in February. Its singles include "Never Gone" and "You Are."
Wilson is best known for the singles "Savior, Please" from his 2008 album "Trying To Fit the Ocean in a Cup" and "Before the Morning" from his 2009 EP, "Life Is Not a Snapshot."
VIP tickets to the show include premium seating, early entrance for an autograph signing with all of the artists, a "Miracle" CD and an exclusive tour poster.
