Newboys kick off full length tour with new vocalist Michael Tait

posted by Joanne Brokaw | 11:19am Wednesday September 16, 2009

OK, Newsboys fans, it’s time to find out how you really feel about Michael Tait at the helm:
Newsboys will kick off their fall “The Way We Roll” tour October 1, with special guests Seventh Day Slumber, Bread of Stone, and Me In Motion.
This is the Newsboy’s first first full-length tour featuring new front man Michael Tait, who stepped into the role mid-tour earlier this year after longtime leader Peter Furler decided to take a more behind-the-scenes role.
The change took many Newsboys’ fans by surprise and was met with a mixed emotions, especially from fans that had purchased concert tickets expecting Furler and got Tait instead. Some fans thought the change was good; some thought it was too much dcTalk mixed with Newsboys. But most were disappointed they didn’t know ahead of time that Tait had taken over the lead spot and weren’t offered the opportunity for a refund.
This time, there will be no confusion about who’ll be at the mic. So are you going to check out this tour? It kicks off October 1 in Greensboro, NC and ends November 15 in Wilmington, OH.
