There’s a reason arenas full of strangers turn into a single unified choir the moment Chris Tomlin steps under the lights. Few songwriters in modern Christian music have shaped the sound of congregational worship the way he has. “How Great Is Our God,” “Our God,” “Good Good Father,” and “Holy Forever” aren’t just radio hits — they’re the songs churches across the country sing every single Sunday. So when word gets out that Tomlin is bringing a tour through your city, the tickets tend to move fast, and the questions start piling up just as quickly: When is he playing near me? Where do I buy tickets without getting burned by a resale markup? What’s the venue address, and what time do doors open?

This guide answers all of that. Below you’ll find the full 2026 touring schedule across Tomlin’s three simultaneous runs — the outdoor “Worship Under the Stars” amphitheater dates, the fall arena tour with TobyMac and Third Day, and the “Christmas With Chris Tomlin: Good News of Great Joy” theater tour — along with venue addresses, ticketing resources, and a few strategic tips for landing good seats without overpaying.

Who Is Chris Tomlin, and Why Do His Concerts Sell Out So Fast?

Chris Tomlin has spent more than two decades writing the soundtrack of American church life. TIME magazine once called him the most frequently sung artist in the world, and the numbers back that up: 21 number-one singles, 30 top-ten hits, more than 12 million albums sold, and over 8 billion career streams. He’s earned a Grammy, three Billboard Music Awards, and 30 GMA Dove Awards, most recently for “Holy Forever.”

What separates a Tomlin concert from a typical arena show is the format itself. These aren’t passive listening experiences. A Tomlin concert functions more like a massive, amplified worship gathering — full band, soaring choruses, and an audience that sings every word back at full volume. That communal energy is exactly why tickets disappear quickly, especially for smaller venues like the Alabama Theatre in Birmingham, which has already posted a sold-out date for this run.

The 2026 Touring Landscape: Three Tours, One Voice

Tomlin isn’t running a single linear tour in 2026 — he’s juggling three distinct productions simultaneously, each with its own mood and venue style.

1. Worship Under the Stars 2026 — an intimate, outdoor amphitheater series held in September, built around sweeping natural settings.
2. The Fall Arena Tour with TobyMac and Third Day — a full-scale arena production running through November, pairing three of Christian music’s most recognizable names on one stage.
3. Christmas With Chris Tomlin: Good News of Great Joy Tour — a seasonal theater run through late November and December, trading arena scale for the warmth of historic performing arts venues.

A fourth date, Good Friday Nashville 2027 at Bridgestone Arena, is already on the books for spring, giving early planners a head start on that one too.

Looking Ahead

This schedule reflects Tomlin’s officially posted dates as of September 2026. New shows are added periodically, so it’s worth checking back on the official Chris Tomlin tour page before you finalize plans.

Venue Spotlight: Addresses for Key 2026 Stops

Knowing the venue is only half the equation — knowing exactly where to point your GPS matters just as much, especially in cities where multiple venues share a similar name. Here are addresses for several of the tour’s marquee stops.

The Greek Theatre — Los Angeles, CA

2700 N. Vermont Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90027 Tucked into Griffith Park, this 5,900-seat amphitheater has hosted live music since 1930. The natural canyon acoustics are part of the draw, though this date is already sold out.

The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park — San Diego, CA

222 Marina Park Way, San Diego, CA 92101 A newer addition to the West Coast concert circuit, this open-air shell sits right on San Diego’s Embarcadero, with skyline and bay views as a backdrop.

Bridgestone Arena — Nashville, TN

501 Broadway, Nashville, TN 37203 Home turf for much of the Christian and country music industry, this downtown arena anchors Nashville’s Broadway entertainment district and will host the Good Friday Nashville 2027 date.

CFG Bank Arena — Baltimore, MD

201 W. Baltimore Street, Baltimore, MD 21201 Recently renovated with upgraded acoustics and seating, this downtown Baltimore venue sits just blocks from the Inner Harbor.

Alabama Theatre — Birmingham, AL

1817 Third Avenue North, Birmingham, AL 35203 A restored 1927 movie palace turned performing arts venue, the Alabama Theatre’s intimate 2,176-seat capacity explains why both Birmingham dates sold out or are close to it.

For any city not listed here, the venue address is always available on the ticketing page linked in the schedule above, or through a quick search of the venue name plus city.

Where to Buy Chris Tomlin Concert Tickets

Ticket availability and pricing shift constantly, so it pays to compare a few sources rather than buying from the first link you find. Here are the most reliable resources for finding and purchasing tickets.

• ChrisTomlin.com — Official Tour Page — The most accurate, up-to-date source for tour dates, and the safest place to confirm a show hasn’t sold out or been rescheduled before buying elsewhere.
• Ticketmaster — The primary ticketing partner for most arena and amphitheater dates on this tour, including several of the TobyMac and Third Day co-headline shows.
• Vivid Seats — A secondary marketplace useful for comparing resale pricing, especially for dates that are sold out through primary outlets.
• SeatGeek — Another resale marketplace worth checking for seat-map comparisons and price-tracking tools.
• Songkick — Useful for tracking the full tour calendar in one place and setting alerts for newly announced dates near you.
• Live Nation — Handles ticketing for a number of the Christmas tour theater dates.

A general rule worth repeating: buy directly through the link posted on the artist’s official tour page whenever possible. Christian music tours, because of their family-friendly, church-group audience, are unfortunately also a target for scam ticket listings on social media marketplaces. If a deal looks unusually cheap on a site you don’t recognize, that’s a signal to walk away.

When Should You Buy Chris Tomlin Tickets?

Historical buying data suggests most fans purchase tickets to Christian music tours roughly two to three months ahead of the show date, and the numbers back this up here too — most buyers for this run have historically locked in tickets around 79 days out. That timing lines up with when tour presales typically wind down and general public sales stabilize.

A few practical guidelines:

• Buy the moment presale opens if you want a specific seating section, especially for smaller theater venues like the Alabama Theatre, Fisher Theatre, or Taft Theatre, where capacity is limited and demand is high relative to seat count.
• Wait a few weeks if you’re flexible on seating and want to see whether pricing softens once the initial demand spike passes — this strategy works better for larger arenas than for theaters.
• Watch for added dates. Tour schedules like this one tend to grow as cities express demand, so a city not currently listed may still get added.
• Consider a package deal. Some cities, including Los Angeles and San Diego, have offered official ticket-and-hotel bundles through the tour promoter, which can simplify travel planning for out-of-town fans.

Buying Tickets for a Church Group or Family Outing

A large share of Tomlin’s audience shows up in groups — youth groups, small groups, entire congregations chartering a bus for the night. If you’re coordinating tickets for more than a handful of people, a few extra steps can save real money and real headaches.

Start by contacting the venue’s box office directly rather than buying individual tickets online. Many of the theaters and arenas on this schedule, including smaller rooms like the Peabody Auditorium in Daytona Beach or the Riverside Theatre in Milwaukee, offer group sales desks that can block seats together and sometimes apply a modest discount for parties of ten or more. Buying as a block online through a general consumer checkout often scatters a group across the venue instead of keeping them seated together, which defeats half the purpose of going as a group in the first place.

Second, designate one person to handle the purchase and collect payment ahead of time. Splitting a large group purchase across multiple credit cards after the fact is a common source of friction, and most box offices and ticketing platforms process bulk group orders far more smoothly as a single transaction.

Third, ask about accessibility seating early. Every venue on this tour is required to offer ADA-accessible seating, but those sections are limited and tend to be held separately from general on-sale inventory. If someone in your group needs accessible seating, it’s worth a phone call to the venue rather than relying solely on the online seat map.

Travel and Parking Considerations by Venue Type

The three tours on this schedule differ enough in venue type that travel planning looks different for each one.

Outdoor amphitheaters like the Greek Theatre and the Rady Shell at Jacobs Park tend to have limited on-site parking relative to demand, and traffic leaving the venue after the show can be significant. Rideshare drop-off zones, when available, are usually the faster option, and both venues are within reach of public transit for fans wanting to skip parking altogether.

Downtown arenas such as Bridgestone Arena and CFG Bank Arena sit in dense entertainment districts, meaning parking garages fill up early but public transit access is strong. Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, for instance, sits directly on Broadway, within walking distance of dozens of restaurants and bars for a pre-show meal. Baltimore’s CFG Bank Arena is served by bus, light rail, and the Metro Subway, all with stops within a block of the building.

Historic theaters on the Christmas tour, including the Alabama Theatre and the Fisher Theatre, typically have the smallest on-site footprint of the three venue types. Street parking and nearby paid garages are usually the norm, so arriving early is the safest way to avoid a scramble right before doors.

What to Expect at a Chris Tomlin Show

Fans who’ve attended past tours consistently describe the same experience: a night that feels less like a concert and more like a citywide worship service. Tomlin typically opens with a run of his most recognizable anthems, brings out guest artists or collaborators for a stretch of the set, and closes with a moment built for the whole room to sing together, often stripped down to just a single instrument and thousands of voices.

The fall arena leg pairing him with TobyMac and Third Day adds a different texture entirely — three artists with distinct sounds sharing one stage across a single night, which tends to draw a broader cross-section of the Christian music audience than a solo tour would. Fans of TobyMac’s more hip-hop-influenced catalog and Third Day’s Southern rock roots get a genuinely different set of songs from Tomlin’s own worship-driven catalog, which is part of why these arena dates have drawn some of the largest crowds on the full 2026 schedule.

The Christmas theater run, by contrast, leans into a quieter, more reflective mood, built around smaller historic venues that suit seasonal, story-driven programming. Expect a set list weighted toward holiday material alongside Tomlin staples, performed in rooms intimate enough that even upper-balcony seats feel close to the stage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Chris Tomlin touring in 2026?

Yes. Tomlin has three overlapping tours running through 2026: the Worship Under the Stars amphitheater series in September, a fall arena tour with TobyMac and Third Day running through November, and the Christmas With Chris Tomlin: Good News of Great Joy theater tour running from late November through mid-December.

Where can I find official Chris Tomlin tour dates?

The most reliable source is his official tour page, which lists every confirmed date, venue, and direct ticket link, and is updated as new shows are announced or existing ones sell out.

How much do Chris Tomlin concert tickets cost?

Pricing varies significantly by venue size and market. Smaller theater dates on the Christmas tour have historically started in the $30–60 range for upper-level seating, while larger arena shows and premium seating at outdoor amphitheaters can run well into the low hundreds. Checking multiple resources, including resale marketplaces, is the best way to gauge current pricing for a specific city.

Are any 2026 Chris Tomlin shows sold out?

Yes. As of this writing, the September 11 Greek Theatre date in Los Angeles and the December 1 Alabama Theatre date in Birmingham are both listed as sold out. Resale marketplaces may still have listings for sold-out shows, typically at a premium.

Does Chris Tomlin tour with other artists?

For the fall 2026 arena leg, Tomlin is touring alongside TobyMac and Third Day, with the artist order and headliner varying by date. Earlier in the year, his amphitheater dates have also included collaborators like Pat Barrett.

What time do Chris Tomlin concerts typically start?

Most shows on this tour are listed with a 7:00 PM start time, though doors typically open earlier. Always confirm the specific start and doors time on your ticket confirmation, since this can vary by venue.

Is there a Chris Tomlin Christmas tour in 2026?

Yes. The Christmas With Chris Tomlin: Good News of Great Joy Tour runs from November 30 through December 18, 2026, hitting a dozen theaters across the country, from the Alabama Theatre in Birmingham to the Taft Theatre in Cincinnati.

Between an outdoor amphitheater run, a full arena tour alongside two of Christian music’s most established acts, and a seasonal theater series built for the holidays, 2026 gives fans more ways to see Chris Tomlin live than almost any year in recent memory. The trade-off is that popular dates — particularly smaller theater venues with a few thousand seats — are already selling out months in advance. If there’s a date on this list within driving distance of home, the smartest move is to check the official tour page now, confirm it’s still available, and buy directly through a trusted primary or resale source before the room fills up. Worship music built an entire career on the idea that some songs are better sung together than alone — and judging by how quickly these rooms are filling, plenty of people already agree.
