NBC's "Today Show" co-host Matt Lauer called the Come Together and Worship Tour, "one of the biggest concert tours of the fall." The line up featured Michael W. Smith, Third Day and very special guest Max Lucado and exceeded expectations, with sold-out dates in ten of the 16 cities markets including, Atlanta, GA; Lexington, KY; Memphis, TN; Winston-Salem, NC; Hershey, PA; Fairfax, VA; WestPoint, NY; Mobile, AL; Madison, WI; Auburn Hills, MI.
"It's been an amazing few weeks," reflected Michael W. Smith. He continues, "Having the opportunity to spend time with the Third Day guys was great, and Max Lucado brought everything together by adding elements that demonstrated the heart of this tour. The highlight though, was to watch the thousands of people worshiping with us; it was just incredible."
Third Day front man, Mac Powell added, "What an amazing, life-changing tour. To see, from stage, over 180,000 people of different backgrounds and churches all coming together to be entertained and worship was such a gift. Getting to share life, and the stage, with Michael W. Smith and Max Lucado was an experience we will never forget
