NASHVILLE, Tenn.- The internationally top-ranked Winter Jam Tour Spectacular launched its unprecedented 18th year with sellout performances last weekend, playing to more than 36,000 people in three nights. Kicking off January 4 at the Charleston Civic Center in Charleston, West Virginia, the tour also saw capacity crowds at Charlotte, North Carolina's nearly 16,000-seat Time Warner Cable Arena and Chattanooga, Tennessee's McKenzie Arena.
Founded and hosted by GRAMMY®-nominated NewSong, the Winter Jam 2013 Tour Spectacular is headlined by GRAMMY®-winning, multi-platinum recording artist TobyMac. The 44-city tour, which is presented by World Vision and promoted by Premier Productions, also features RED, Matthew West, Jamie Grace, Sidewalk Prophets and Royal Tailor, with a message from national speaker Nick Hall. In addition, the Youth Music Vault Pre-Jam Party includes performances from Jason Castro, OBB and Capital Kings.
In Charleston, Winter Jam's opening night love offering was donated to the city's Union Mission. More than $50,000 was raised for the ministry, which offers a range of programs and services to benefit the needy of West Virginia.
Winter Jam has been the #1 tour in the world (first quarter) for two consecutive years, according to Pollstar. Created by NewSong in 1995, the tour has consistently featured the genre's biggest names, introducing Christian music to new audiences across the country while providing a powerful platform for the Gospel message.
