Background
editOn March 2, 2023, Brandon Lake and Phil Wickham announced through their social media that they would be embarking on a 12-date summer tour that summer featuring Christian rapper KB.[2] Furthermore, the band announced 4 additional shows at the end of the tour in California that would feature We Are Messengers as the opening act.[3][4] The tour was a massive success, selling out many of the shows including the ones in Charlotte, Ontario, and Fort Worth among others, leading them to continue the tour into 2024.[5][6][7] The tour also caused Lake and Wickham to release music together, specifically the song "People of Heaven" which the duo used to close out their shows during the 2023 run of the tour.
On March 11, 2024, the artists announced the return of the tour through a video posted on their social medias.[8] The tour continued to visit arenas throughout the United States, and also visited the Waikiki Shell in Hawaii.[9] Again, the duo released music together as a result of the tour, this time the song "Love of God". Hulvey was the opening act for all of the 2024 shows.[10]
