Casting Crowns, renowned for boiling down life’s most challenging moments into powerful proclamations of faith, is set to bring their latest album, “Healer,” to life on stage.

Opening for Casting Crowns is rising star Katy Nichole, whose breakout year in 2022 saw her smash hit “In Jesus Name (God of Possible)” crown the Billboard Hot Christian Songs chart for a record-breaking 20 weeks. With her unabashed honesty and vocal clarity, Katy Nichole has quickly become one of Christian music’s fastest-rising artists.
