A concert by the Grammy-nominated and Dove Award-winning Christian pop-rock band "Newsboys", performing with singer/songwriter Britt Nicole will be held at 7 p.m. April 11 in the Convocation Center at California University of Pennsylvania.
Opening for Newsboys are the band "All Things New" and the duo "Campbell".
Five-time winners of the Gospel Music Association’s Dove Award, Newsboys have five gold albums to their credit and 28 No. 1 radio hits. Their 2010 album, Born Again, reached No. 4 on the overall Billboard chart.
In addition to Newsboys’ top hits, the playlist for the concert at Cal U will include songs from the band’s current album of rock-driven worship anthems, God’s Not Dead, including “Your Love Never Fails,” which has been No. 1 for six weeks in a row at Hot AC radio.
Appearing with Newsboys is the Nashville-based singer/songwriter Britt Nicole, a Grammy Award nominee for her 2012 album, Gold. The artist says her danceable, pop-inspired songs “send a potent yet joyful message of self-worth” to her growing cadre of fans.
General admission tickets cost $25 in advance, $30 on the day of the show.
For $77, guests can enjoy a special Newsboys’ VIP Experience at the Cal U Convocation Center. The VIP Experience includes priority check-in, an exclusive autograph session with Newsboys, a Q&A event with the band and limited-edition merchandise.
