If you've been looking for a reason to get back in an arena and worship with thousands of believers - Winter Jam 2026 just gave you one.
Christian music's largest annual tour is back, and this year's lineup features Chris Tomlin, Matthew West, Katy Nichole, Hulvey, Disciple, Emerson Day, and NewSong, along with speaker Zane Black. It's one of the strongest rosters the tour has assembled in years - a mix of generational veterans and fresh voices that covers nearly every corner of the CCM landscape.
TIME magazine once called Chris Tomlin the "most often sung artist in the world," and with 21 number-one singles and more than 8 billion career global streams, that title still holds. Having him headline Winter Jam gives the tour an anchor that few Christian artists can match. Tomlin himself shared, "We are in a moment in our country - one of revival and awakening. Let's come together as the people of God, singing the praises of God, in the presence of God."
Joining him is Matthew West, one of Christian music's most prolific singer-songwriters with 37 number-one songs combined as an artist and songwriter, five Grammy nominations, and more than 275 songwriting credits to his name. Katy Nichole, who rose to prominence with her Billboard No. 1 hit "In Jesus Name (God of Possible)," rounds out the headlining trio, alongside Christian rock mainstays Disciple, rising CHH voice Hulvey, and pop-driven newcomer Emerson Day.
The tour kicked off January 9 in Columbia, South Carolina, and is visiting 40 cities across the U.S., including Tampa, Charlotte, Indianapolis, Nashville, Birmingham, Louisville, Grand Rapids, Oklahoma City, Des Moines, and Cleveland.
Fans can arrive early for the Pre-Jam Party featuring Jeremy Rosado, Heath Brothers, and Cliff Preston before the main show begins.
What makes Winter Jam different from nearly every other major tour in Christian music is the price. No ticket purchase is required - admission is just a $15 donation at the door, a model that has kept the tour consistently ranked among Pollstar's Top 100 Tours for more than 30 years. For a family wanting a full night of world-class worship without a steep ticket price, there's nothing else like it. That kind of accessibility is its own act of faith.
