Founded in 1985 in Australia, Newsboys now reside in Nashville and continue a long legacy of great music and huge hits. Nearly 40 years later, the Newsboys continue to be one of the most popular bands in the Christian music industry. In 2000, they helped start and headlined the annual, travelling CCM festival Festival Con Dios with Audio Adrenaline and The O.C. Supertones. It was known for featuring popular Christian bands and its motorcross stunts.
This show is now SOLD OUT as well!! Two shows...two sellouts! They're from the area, they're awesome, they're getting bigger by the minute, and they will be on the Paramount stage very soon. Tickets were VERY difficult to come by for both shows. They literally sold out within minutes.
Formed eight years ago on Winchester Street right here in our area...Castlewood, Virginia, the band started as a rag tag bunch of neighborhood teenagers who just wanted to get together for the sake of playing together. “From day one, it’s always been a band and it will always be about being a band. This is everything, everything we love about music — we’re going for broke with this thing,” says lead singer/guitarist Isaac Gibson. “And that gives us a unique perspective because it’s still the same guys. It’s still all of us from Castlewood traveling around, playing music and making this band a reality — this is a story of growth.”
