Casting Crowns

Successful Christian bands often find themselves at a crossroads: They can either quietly downplay their faith in an effort to appeal to non-Christian markets, or embrace it and own the Christian contemporary label. For Daytona Beach, Florida’s Casting Crowns, it was an easy decision. Founded by youth pastor Mark Hall in the late ’90s, the group has sung about their devotion on a run of studio albums featuring more than a dozen Top 10 Christian hits, including number ones like “Voice of Truth,” “Lifesong,” “Praise You in This Storm” and “Who Am I,” all of which extol the virtues of faith.

In 2016 the group released its most recent full-length, The Very Next Thing, the band’s first since Hall was successfully treated for kidney cancer. “I didn’t want to write the post-cancer record, but I did want to talk about it,” Hall told Billboard shortly after its release. The band followed it up the next year with a celebratory holiday EP called It’s Finally Christmas.

Casting Crowns will be joined on this bill by fellow Christian artist Matthew West. (Evan Rytlewski)
