Chris Tomlin’s “Good Friday Nashville” became the largest ticketed Christian concert at Bridgestone Arena for the third time on Friday night (March 29), with the eighth annual concert notching a sold-out attendance of 15,889.

This year’s event featured  Lainey Wilson, Cody Carnes, Duck Dynasty’s Willie Robertson, Kari Jobe and Anne Wilson. Production modifications were made to add more seats earlier this month to accommodate demand.

“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,” says Tomlin. “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. 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.”

Ahead of the concert, the artist released his new project Live From Good Friday as well as his new book How Great is Our God: Living a Worship-Led Life in a Me-Driven World. He also served as a guest co-host on KLOVE Radio every morning last week, and made an appearance on The Bobby Bones Show and Apple Music’s Country Faith Radio with Tyler Hubbard and Ashley Gorley. Additionally, Tomlin the first-ever artist to take over Amazon’s Praise & Worship station.

During the event, Tomlin announced that tickets for next year’s “Good Friday Nashville” were available, which led to more than 50 percent of the tickets selling over the weekend. “Good Friday Nashville” is also the longest-running annual charity-related concert at Bridgestone Arena, as it continues to benefit the foster care and adoption crisis through Tomlin and his wife Lauren‘s nonprofit organization, For Others.
