Christian music icon Chris Tomlin is set to play a central role in Winter Jam 2026, bringing his decades of worship leadership to one of the biggest touring events in Christian music this year. The annual Winter Jam tour - known for its high‑energy worship, affordable tickets, and multi‑artist lineup - continues into 2026 with Tomlin among its most anticipated featured artists.
Tomlin joins a roster that includes major names such as Matthew West, Katy Nichole, Hulvey, Disciple, Emerson Day, and Newsong, uniting contemporary Christian voices across genres and generations. Winter Jam's touring model - non‑stop worship, testimonies, and live music - has made it one of the most influential worship movements on the road.
As Tomlin shared on social media this week:
"Winter Jam is a space where worship and community come together - I'm looking forward to singing alongside the church family in arenas across the country."
A Season of Worship and Unity
Chris Tomlin's presence on Winter Jam 2026 carries significance beyond performance. He has long been a songwriter and worship pastor whose songs - including "How Great Is Our God," "Our God," and "Holy Forever" - have become staples in churches worldwide. This tour gives churches and everyday worshippers the opportunity to experience these songs in a communal concert setting.
For many believers, Tomlin's music serves as both devotional soundtrack and corporate worship anchor - bridging personal faith with shared praise. Having him as a key Winter Jam artist adds a familiar and unifying voice to the tour's overall worship experience.
What to Expect at the Shows
Winter Jam 2026 continues its tradition of offering:
-
Affordable admission and family‑friendly environments
-
Multiple performances in one night
-
Diverse worship experiences from rock to pop to gospel‑leaning voices
-
Moments of prayer, testimony, and invitation
Tomlin is scheduled to lead worship segments that blend new material he's released recently - including pieces from his Jesus Saves project - alongside classic worship favorites that have resonated in congregations for years.
Why This Matters to Worship Communities
Winter Jam is more than a concert tour - it's a collective worship experience that draws believers out of Sunday services and into arenas filled with praise. Chris Tomlin's involvement in 2026 underscores the ongoing vitality of worship music in the church today, encouraging unity, spiritual reflection, and joy in communal praise.
As Winter Jam travels across the U.S. through the spring, it represents a reminder to the church that worship isn't confined to buildings or services, but is alive wherever believers gather in spirit and song.
