It's been eight years since Third Day said goodbye. On June 18, they say hello again - at one of the most iconic stages on earth.
Four-time GRAMMY-winning Christian rock legends Third Day will mark 30 years since the release of their debut album with a once-in-a-lifetime concert at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado - with the original lineup of Mac Powell, Mark Lee, David Carr, and Tai Anderson all taking the stage together.
The Red Rocks date lands on exactly June 18 - the 30th anniversary to the day of their self-titled debut album, famously known as the "bus record," originally released June 18, 1996. The timing isn't coincidence. It's a full-circle moment.
Joining them that night is a powerhouse lineup: very special guest Michael W. Smith, plus Matt Maher, Brandon Heath, and Jon Reddick. For fans of a certain era of Christian music, this reads less like a concert lineup and more like a reunion of the genre's greatest generation.
Tickets sold out within minutes of going on sale - cementing it as one of the most anticipated Christian rock events of 2026.
The 30-city anniversary tour launched in March and is still running. The tour also features GRAMMY Award-winning artist Zach Williams, known for "Chain Breaker," joining as a special guest across multiple dates.
Mac Powell put it simply: "It feels perfect to celebrate at Red Rocks exactly 30 years to the day since the release of our self-titled album."
For a generation of believers who grew up on Consuming Fire, Thief, and Cry Out to Jesus, this isn't just a concert - it's a worship experience they thought they'd never get again. Third Day built their career on songs that pointed people to God, and 30 years later, that mission hasn't changed.
June 18 at Red Rocks. Mark it down.
