MINNEAPOLIS, Minnesota – As one of the most successful and influential Christian performing artists today, Chris Tomlin’s remarkable year of touring will continue this fall as he announces An Evening of Worship with Chris Tomlin concert in Minneapolis, Minnesota at Target Center on October 12. Singer/songwriter Pat Barrett, who became the first artist signed to Chris’ imprint record label Bowyer & Bow last year and recently celebrated his first #1 on the Christian Airplay Chart with “Build My Life,” is the special guest. Tickets on sale Friday, June 21 at www.christomlin.com. This show is presented by 98.5 KTIS. 
 
"Worship is so much more than just a concert and this tour is focused on bringing people back to what it is all about, the heart of worship,” shared Chris.  “My hope and prayer for these intimate nights is really that people encounter the living God, and leave changed after their experience."
 
Chris’ touring year began in March with the “Holy Roar Tour” playing nearly 30 shows in six weeks. It was followed by his third-annual ‘Good Friday Nashville’ concert at Bridgestone Arena where he smashed his own attendance record as the largest ticketed Christian concert in the history of the venue. On May 4 Chris’ sold-out headline concert at the iconic Hollywood Bowl became the highest attended concert of his career and later this month he will perform his first-ever concerts in Israel, Chris Tomlin Worship Nights in Israel- A Journey Through the Holy Land, a 7-day destination/ concert event that will tour Galilee, the Dead Sea, Nazareth, Capernaum, Mount of Beatitudes, the Garden Tomb, and more. On July 29 & 30, Chris will return for two shows to Red Rocks Amphitheatre, where in 2017 he became the first Christian artist to play sold-out back-to-back concerts at the historic venue.
