BUZZ BEAT MEDIA

The stage is set. After more than a decade apart, Third Day—one of Christian music’s most iconic bands—is reuniting for a nationwide celebration of music, faith, and fellowship. As the band marks its 30th anniversary in 2026, fans can rejoice in the long-awaited return of Mac Powell, Mark Lee, Tai Anderson, and David Carr for a 30-city tour across the United States.

From their early days in Atlanta to becoming four-time Grammy winners with over 10 million albums sold, Third Day has never been just a band—it’s been a movement. Known for powerful anthems like “Cry Out to Jesus” and “Show Me Your Glory,” their sound has defined the soundtrack of faith for millions. And now, after 11 years off the road, the original lineup is coming back together to do what they do best: lead believers in worship through unforgettable live performances.

“This is more than a reunion,” said lead vocalist Mac Powell. “It’s a celebration of what God has done through the years—through the music, the message, and the people.”

The tour kicks off on March 19, 2026, at the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida, with stops in major cities like Los Angeles, Nashville, and Dallas, before wrapping up on May 10 with a homecoming show in Duluth, Georgia.

Joining the band is Zach Williams, a fellow Grammy winner known for hits like “Chain Breaker” and “There Was Jesus.” His addition to the lineup brings a powerful dynamic to an already emotion-filled celebration.

“Third Day has always been, first and foremost, a live band,” shared guitarist Mark Lee. “The best way to honor 30 years is to take the stage again and sing these songs with the people who have supported us from the start.”

For fans, the tour is a chance to relive favorites like “Your Love Oh Lord” and “My Hope Is You”—songs that have offered comfort and courage in every season of life. For the band, it’s a return to their roots: heartfelt worship, Gospel-centered lyrics, and the joy of community in Christ.

“This tour will be more than a concert,” said bassist Tai Anderson. “It’s about worship. It’s about stories. It’s about God’s faithfulness through the years—and giving thanks together.”

With ticket sales opening on June 27, the buzz is building quickly. Third Day’s farewell tour in 2018 sold out in just 12 minutes, and anticipation for this reunion is even greater.

“This is going to be a once-in-a-lifetime night of live music and celebration for all generations to experience,” said Dan Fife of Awakening Events.

Whether you’ve followed Third Day since the ’90s or recently discovered their music, this anniversary tour is an invitation—to sing, to remember, and to praise.
