Formed in the mid 1980s, Newsboys is one of the biggest bands in Christian music history, having sold more than 10 million units across 23 recordings and garnering boundless accolades, including 1 RIAA Platinum certification and 8 Gold certifications, 33 #1 radio hits, four GRAMMY nominations, two American Music Award nominations and multiple Dove Awards. Early hits included “Shine,” “Take Me To Your Leader” and “Entertaining Angels,” many of which played on K-LOVE throughout the years.
For nearly four decades, the band has toured extensively throughout the world to present their unparalleled high-energy shows, from their formation in Australia to their current residence in the United States, and everywhere between. Michael Tait, Duncan Phillips, Jeff Frankenstein and Jody Davis returned to the marketplace in 2021 with “Magnetic,” an uptempo pop song about the consistent love of God. In 2023, Adam Agee joined the band on guitars and background vocals.
With signature songs like “We Believe,” “Born Again” and the unstoppable mega-hit “God’s Not Dead”—which birthed a film franchise of the same name—Newsboys have continued to collect career-defining accolades at full speed ahead. In 2025, Michael Tait announced that he was stepping down from the band, and Adam Agee took over lead vocals. Shortly after, the band headed out on their latest journey, the “Worldwide Revival Nights” tour, playing in cities across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and select locations in Scandinavia.
