Phil Wickham and Brandon Lake Are Bringing Summer Worship Nights Back to Arenas in 2026 — See the Cities

Two of the biggest names in modern worship are hitting the road again - and if last year is any indication, you'll want to grab your tickets before they're gone.

Phil Wickham and Brandon Lake have officially announced the return of Summer Worship Nights for 2026, bringing their now-legendary co-headlining tour back to arenas across the United States with rising worship artist Josiah Queen joining as special guest.

What to Expect

For three years running, Summer Worship Nights has proven that worship music doesn't just fill churches - it fills arenas. The 2025 run closed with over 200,000 voices joining together in worship across a completely sold-out run, including stops at Hersheypark Stadium with over 30,000 attendees and two sold-out nights at Dallas' American Airlines Center combining for over 33,000. The 2026 tour is already generating the same buzz.

This year's confirmed venues include major arenas such as Save Mart Center, Pechanga Arena, PHX Arena, American Airlines Center, Moody Center, Toyota Center, Bridgestone Arena, and Heritage Bank Center, placing the tour firmly among the largest Christian live events of the year.

The Impact Goes Beyond the Stage

What makes Summer Worship Nights different from a typical concert tour is what happens in the room. The tour's presenting sponsor, World Vision, saw record-breaking impact in 2025 - reaching more than 55,000 children around the world through attendee responses alone. Every night is as much a ministry moment as it is a musical one.

That spirit lives in both artists. Brandon Lake currently holds six No. 1 songs on the Hot Christian Songs chart, with "Hard Fought Hallelujah" spending 34 weeks at the top. Phil Wickham's catalog of modern worship classics - from "This Is Amazing Grace" to "Living Hope" to "House of the Lord" - has made him one of the most sung songwriters in churches worldwide.

Together on one stage, they don't just put on a show. They lead a room full of thousands in the kind of worship that reminds you why you came.

Josiah Queen Joins the Stage

The addition of Josiah Queen as special guest is one of the most exciting parts of this year's lineup. The rising worship artist has been one of Christian music's fastest-growing voices, and sharing the stage with Wickham and Lake on a national arena run is a significant step for his career - and a gift to fans who have been following his journey.

Tickets and full tour details are available now at PhilWickham.com and BrandonLake.co. With the 2025 run selling out coast-to-coast, don't wait - these gatherings fill up fast and the impact lasts long after the lights go down.

As Psalm 95:1 says - Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord. Let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation. This summer, thousands will do exactly that.
