Four-time Grammy-winning CCM band Third Day is set to launch its 30th anniversary headlining tour in 2026. The 30-date tour will mark the first time in 11 years that the band’s original four members — Mac Powell, Mark Lee, David Carr and Tai Anderson — will reunite on stage.
The tour will celebrate the three-decade anniversary of their self-titled, major label debut album, which released in 1996 on Reunion Records. That project reached No. 11 on Billboard‘s Christian Albums chart, and spurred hits including “Forever,” “Blackbird” and “Nothing at All.”
Third Day previously embarked on its farewell tour in 2018.
The trek launches March 19 at Vystar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Fla., and will conclude in the band’s hometown of Atlanta at the Gas South Arena on May 10. Along the way, the tour will make stops at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena (April 12), Los Angeles’ Kia Forum (April 24), Chicago’s Credit Union 1 Arena (April 10) and Orlando’s Kia Center (March 22), among other show dates. Zach Williams, known for songs including “Chain Breaker,” will open shows on the tour.
Powell said in a statement, “I’ve been getting asked the question for many years, ‘When is Third Day going to do a tour again?’ and I’ve always said, ‘One day soon I hope!’ I’m so excited that we finally get the chance to play music together again on stage and give our fans what they’ve been waiting for.”
Lee added, “Third Day has always been, first and foremost, a live band. The best way
to celebrate 30 years is to get back together for a tour. I can’t wait to get back out on the road with these guys and put on a big show for our fans.”
Dan Fife, CEO of Awakening Events, added, “Celebrating 30 years of Third Day is a true honor, and bringing Mac, Mark, David and Tai back to the stage is something fans have been waiting for. Adding Zach Williams as a very special guest make this tour even more powerful. This is going to be a once-in-a-lifetime night of live music and celebration for all generations to experience.”
Tickets go on sale Friday, June 27, at 10 a.m. local time. To see a full list of tour dates, visit Third Day’s website.
