Nashville, TN....3/31/21 - GRAMMY® nominated, multiple American Music Award, Billboard Music Award and Dove Award-winning band MercyMe has announced their upcoming Live and Outside Tour. Following two sold out Show'tel Amelia Island performances earlier this month where fans escaped to the beachfront luxury of The Ritz-Carlton to see the band, MercyMe is excited to hit the road for their first tour since March 2020.
With the first few shows on sale Friday, April 2nd (see dates below), MercyMe will take over minor league baseball stadiums across the U.S. All events will be outside and follow local/state COVID guidelines. For ticket information visit www.mercyme.org.
MercyMe's Live and Outside Tour (more dates to be added soon):

MercyMe also recently announced the release of their next studio album, inhale (exhale) which will hit April 30, and it is available across all DSPs for preorder now. The project's fast-rising current radio single “Say I Won’t,” is currently #5 on the Billboard National Christian Airplay chart and #6 on the Mediabase Christian Audience chart, is spinning on a vast majority of Christian radio stations across the country.
The track is a potent declaration of faith and perseverance colored by tragedy. Gary Miracle, a longtime friend that worked with MercyMe for many years, contracted an infection that resulted in having both his arms and legs amputated. His indomitable spirit in the face of such challenges was inspiring. Good Morning America's third hour, GMA3, will be featuring MercyMe and Miracle in a special segment on April 15th. FoxNews.com originally premiered the song's powerful music video last December, and the band also performed on FOX Nation's special episode of Ainslie's Bible Study, A Concert for Christ.
