CHRIS TOMLINS “GOOD FRIDAY NASHVILLE SELLS OUT ANOTHER YEAR BECOMING THE LARGEST TICKETED CHRISTIAN CONCERT AT BRIDGESTONE ARENA FOR THIRD TIME

Grammy winning artist and America’s worship leader Chris Tomlin’s ‘Good Friday Nashville’ became the largest ticketed Christian concert at Bridgestone Arena for the third time with a sold-out attendance of 15,889 on Friday night. 

Earlier this month to accommodate demand, production modifications were made to add more seats for the record setting event. The annual event began in 2017 and has continued each year, including virtually through a worldwide stream during the pandemic in 2020 and 2021.

Continuing the annual tradition of welcoming surprise guests, Chris invited CMA Entertainer of The Year and Grammy award winner Lainey Wilson and chart topping CCM artist Cody Carnes to perform, along with previously announced speaker Duck Dynasty’s Willie Robertson and performers CCM powerhouse Kari Jobe, and Grammy-nominated Anne Wilson. 

“All over the earth this past weekend the church gathered to remember the cross and to celebrate the hope of the resurrection… life over death”

“Thank you to everyone who joined us for Good Friday Nashville locally and to those who joined us digitally worldwide.

Thank you to the large team who made this record breaking night happen.

CHRIS TOMLIN

“To Anne Wilson, Kari Jobe, Lainey Wilson, Cody Carnes, and Willie Robertson thank YOU for giving your time and talents to make Good Friday Nashville an impactful night of worship and remembering. God was truly present.”
