Fans embrace the energy at the Grand Rapids concert featuring top artists.
Grand Rapids is abuzz with anticipation as the concert featuring Sam Wesley, MercyMe, and Zach Williams approaches at Van Andel Arena. Fans can look forward to an evening filled with inspiring music, hope, and community. Tickets are available now, allowing attendees to experience the energy and talent of these celebrated artists.
Grand Rapids is buzzing with excitement as the day approaches for an incredible lineup of music and inspiration set to take the stage at the renowned Van Andel Arena this Sunday evening. The evening promises to be truly special as Sam Wesley opens for the celebrated band MercyMe and the talented Zach Williams. It’s a concert that promises to be filled not only with fantastic tunes but also with a strong message of hope.
Sam Wesley is no stranger to the music scene, having toured with his father’s band, MercyMe, in the past. Now, he is stepping out as an independent artist, eager to showcase his own musical journey. Sam has a lot to share, and he’s gradually developing a unique sound influenced by country music while still making sure to carve out his own identity separate from his father’s impressive legacy.
Excitingly, Sam will be performing a selection of his own faith-inspired songs during the concert, including his recently released singles, “Carry On” and “Greater Than All I Know.” This is a great chance for fans to hear new music that is described as very organic-sounding. For those already familiar with the music of MercyMe, you may remember that he also co-wrote the song “On Our Way,” which appears on one of their earlier albums.
Sam’s band will include drummer William Cochran, who is also connected to MercyMe through his father, Nathan Cochran. This shared history creates a delightful camaraderie on stage, fostering a warm, familial atmosphere for the audience. Sam also mentions that Grand Rapids holds a special place in his heart, as he enjoys exploring the city, with Madcap Coffee being a top favorite for him.
Now, let’s turn our attention to the headliners! MercyMe is celebrating over 25 years of success in the music industry, with a history that boasts around 48 No. 1 inspirational hits! They are perhaps best known for their iconic hit, “I Can Only Imagine.” This song has touched countless lives and remains a staple of their powerful performances.
Fans will also be thrilled to learn that MercyMe is working on a new recording project, with a single titled “Oh Death” already causing a buzz. The energy is palpable as they continue to create music that resonates deeply with fans. To add to the excitement, a sequel to the film “I Can Only Imagine,” titled “I Can Only Imagine 2,” is in pre-production and will focus on generational conflicts within Bart Millard’s family, delving into personal experiences like dealing with juvenile diabetes.
On the other hand, Zach Williams has captured hearts since his rise to fame with the hit album “Chain Breaker,” and his Grammy Award-winning duet with Dolly Parton, “There Was Jesus.” His music is uplifting and inspiring, making him a perfect fit for this star-studded concert.
As fans gear up for this magical evening filled with music and inspiration, tickets are available online, ranging from $25 to $74. The concert is set to kick off at 7 p.m. on Sunday, so mark your calendars! This is an event that promises to create lasting memories, filled with great tunes, heartfelt lyrics, and a sense of community, making it the place to be in Grand Rapids.
Don’t miss your chance to see Sam Wesley, MercyMe, and Zach Williams light up the stage. Grab your tickets, rally your friends and family, and get ready for an unforgettable night!
