Building 429 and Colton Dixon Launch EARTH SHAKER Tour This Fall

Following a successful spring run with sell-out performances, Grammy-nominated bandBuilding 429 is joining forces once again with Dove Award-winning "American Idol" alum Colton Dixon for the Earth Shaker Tour, slated for 20-plus cities this fall. Presented by World Vision, the Earth Shaker Tour also features special guests Finding Favour, and will kick off Oct. 20 in Springfield, Missouri.

The Earth Shaker Tour derives from a song on Building 429's current top-selling album UNASHAMED, which debuted at No. 2 on Billboard's Top Christian Albums Chart. The album's title track and recently released video (see it here) was filmed in front of thousands at a recent concert stop in Seattle. The tour will launch on the heels of the band's brand new single "Be With Us Now," going to radio Aug. 12.

"It's an honor to be leading the charge on a tour that is going to be an incredible night of ministry and music," says Building 429's Jason Roy. "It is truly a rare thing to be sharing the stage with Earth shakers like Colton and Finding Favour. Get ready for a deep and meaningful night of worship and ministry as we celebrate the gift of Jesus Christ!"

Tickets for Earth Shaker Tour dates are on sale now, and special "VIP Experience" ticket packages are available in most markets, featuring premium seating, a pre-show artist Q&A and photo op.
