Christian music's biggest rising name is heading to arenas across America - and the road that got him here was anything but smooth.

GRAMMY-nominated and GMA Dove Award-winning artist Forrest Frank has announced The Jesus Generation Tour, a 29-city run launching June 1 at BOK Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, with special guests Tori Kelly, Cory Asbury, and The Figs. The tour wraps August 1 at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas - a 40,000-capacity stadium - with stops at Madison Square Garden, Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, GEODIS Park in Nashville, and more.

The announcement comes off the back of what may be the most resilient stretch of Frank's career. After wrapping his completely sold-out Child of God Tour Part 2 in May 2025, Frank broke his back in a freak accident that summer. Rather than go quiet, he went into the studio and released a string of viral tracks including "God's Got My Back," "Lemonade" with The Figs, "Selah," and "The Rock" with Crowder - songs that leaned directly into what he was living through.

Those tracks, along with 21 others, appeared on his September 2025 release Child of God II (Back to Back). In October, Frank took home three GMA Dove Awards including Artist of the Year. He currently holds two 2026 Grammy nominations - Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song for "Your Way's Better" and Best Contemporary Christian Music Album for Child of God II.

The tour format itself signals how seriously he is taking this moment. The Jesus Generation Tour features an in-the-round stage inside outdoor venues - fans will be welcomed by The Figs on arrival, Cory Asbury will lead worship, and Tori Kelly will open directly into Frank's headlining set. It is less a concert and more a designed worship experience, built from the ground up for the generation that discovered faith and music at the same time.

"My whole brand was built around God," Frank has said, "and I'm not going to change that - ever."

For an artist who turned a broken back into a worship anthem, that kind of conviction is not just a brand statement. It is a testimony.

Tickets for The Jesus Generation Tour are on sale now at forrestfrank.com. The tour runs June 1 - August 1, 2026.
