NASHVILLE, TENN. (AUGUST 15, 2024) Newcomer Josiah Queen has taken the Christian music industry by storm with the release of the hit song “The Prodigal” and his debut album released this summer charting at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart. This fall concertgoers can attend The Prodigal Tour in one of the 13 cities this fall with special guest Dove-nominated Strings & Heart. “The Prodigal Tour” is a continuation of the completely sold-out spring run. Not knowing what to expect with his first headlining tour, his team was blown away by the reception that sold out each venue of the 24 dates.

“I’m so excited to be hitting the road again this fall on The Prodigal Tour,” shares Josiah Queen. “After the first run was such a blast in the spring, I’m excited to visit new cities and get to hang with fans on both coasts! Expecting God to move in a big way each night!”

Nominated for two GMA Dove Awards this year including for the acclaimed New Artist of the Year, he has also been named as one of Amazon’s Breakthrough Artists to Watch in 2024. His music and live show connect with his Gen Z peers, which is an underserved market in the CCM genre. This electrifying tour will continue to celebrate Josiah’s anthem of authenticity and devotion while inviting young audiences across the country to a high-energy and faith-filled night. This new leg of his headlining tour follows his widely popular summer tour with Forrest Frank.

Strings & Heart adds, “We’re just so stoked and grateful to be a part of Josiah Queen’s tour this fall, and to be sharing the stage with such a talented artist who God is using for the Kingdom and to spread the Gospel. We already know this tour is going to be full of passion, and energy, and be an undignified expression of testimony, praise, and worship of a generation on fire for Jesus, declaring who He is, what He’s done, and what He will do. We can’t wait to meet everybody! This is going to be an unforgettable experience.”
