Casting Crowns Comes to City with Danny Gokey, Unspoken By: Pam Thompson

The multi-platinum, Grammy-Award-winning Casting Crowns returns to Pittsburgh with The Very Next Thing Tour in March. The concert at PPG Paints Arena will be among more than 40 shows planned for the second leg of Casting Crowns’ tour, scheduled for a February kickoff. Fans describe the show as an uplifting and renewing worship experience and say that they especially enjoy when the band comes to the front of the stage to perform. Singing along is encouraged by lyrics projected onto the stage. Casting Crowns, the top-selling Christian music act on Billboard since 2007, will be joined on tour by Danny Gokey and Unspoken. The Very Next Thing Tour supports Casting Crowns new album by the same name. The album made its debut at No. 9 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, selling 28,000 units and earning Casting Crowns its sixth top 10 placement. The single, “One Step Away” gave Casting Crowns its 11th No. 1 radio single last November. Continued on page 60
