This Wednesday, December 22, Tomlin will wrap up an impressive 2021 with a performance of "Christmas Day" from Emmanuel: Christmas Songs of Worship on Good Morning America.

This past summer, Chris delivered new music and embarked on a 14-city amphitheater tour this summer. Chris Tomlin & Friends: Summer EP contains three new songs featuring Chris with superstar Tyler Hubbard (Florida Georgia Line), who also served as executive producer, Jimmie Allen and Russell Dickerson. The project also includes two previously released tracks featuring Russell, Florida Georgia Line and Thomas Rhett from Chris Tomlin & Friends, his #1 debuting album released last year. Chris spoke to USA Today/Tennessean about his excitement for the new music, his growing relationships in Nashville, and this new wave of cross genre collaboration, one that is founded in faith and brings a message of unity and hope to an even greater audience.
To celebrate Easter, Chris Tomlin and Max Lucado with special guests Pat Barrett and award-winning group Lady A, delivered songs and messages of hope the second consecutive year with GOOD FRIDAY WORLDWIDE. The television and radio broadcast with TBN, K-LOVE, Air 1 and more than 30 additional radio stations could be seen and heard in over 32 countries as people around the globe gathered to worship all at the same time and in the same moment. Chris will return to Good Friday Nashville on April 15, 2022, and indefinitely in years forward, to make an impact in Music City and Tennessee by donating proceeds back to the communities. Since the inception of Good Friday Nashville in 2017 when it broke the attendance record as the largest ticketed Christian concert in the history of Bridgestone Arena, Good Friday Nashville has sold-out each year. In 2019 the concert smashed its earlier history-making attendance record.
At the top of 2022, Tomlin is set to embark on a co-headlining tour with Hillsong UNITED. Anticipated to be the biggest Christian music concert tour of the year, the Tomlin UNITED Tour will welcome thousands of fans each night to worship together and experience songs that have shaped modern faith today. Sponsored by illumiNations, the live worship experience includes 33 dates across the U.S. Tickets for the Tomlin UNITED Tour are on sale now at christomlin.com.
