Christian music's largest annual tour, Winter Jam 2026, is returning this winter with an all‑star lineup featuring some of the genre's most influential artists. The tour, known for its accessibility and ministry focus, will kick off in early January and visit dozens of cities across the United States.
At the center of the lineup are Chris Tomlin and Matthew West, two of contemporary Christian music's most enduring voices. They will be joined by Katy Nichole, who rose to prominence with her Billboard No. 1 hit "In Jesus Name (God of Possible)," as well as rising acts Hulvey, Christian rock mainstays Disciple, pop‑driven Emerson Day, and founders NewSong.
Winter Jam's format continues its tradition of affordability: no advance tickets are required, and fans are encouraged to make a $15 donation at the door for entry. Early‑arriving guests can enjoy the Pre‑Jam Party featuring performances by Jeremy Rosado, Heath Brothers, and Cliff Preston before the main show begins.
Since its launch more than three decades ago by NewSong, Winter Jam has grown into one of Christian music's most influential tour experiences, regularly ranking among Pollstar's Top 100 Tours and drawing hundreds of thousands of attendees annually.
This year's tour begins January 9 in Columbia, South Carolina, and will make stops in cities including Tampa, Charlotte, Indianapolis, Nashville, and more through March and April 2026. Full tour dates and details continue to be updated at the official Winter Jam website.
With a blend of veteran performers and emerging talent, Winter Jam 2026 promises a season of worship, connection, and celebration - bringing together diverse audiences for nights of powerful music and shared faith.
