BENTON, AR — The 11th annual Amplify Music Festival takes place August 18-19 in Benton, AR. The event will include a message of hope by Evangelist Nick Hall and feature Christian artists Chris Tomlin, Casting Crowns, and many others. With expenses paid by local businesses, churches, and community members, tickets are free, so anyone can participate in this family-friendly festival. Registration is required and participants are welcome to make a donation when they register.

The event will be held on 25 acres adjacent to the Saline County Fairgrounds and the Benton Riverside Park. Free parking is available onsite.

Minneapolis-based Evangelist Nick Hall will share the Gospel message during the event. Nick speaks to young people around the world through his ministry Pulse. His biblical messages encourage people to reset every area of their lives to Jesus.

This year’s lineup includes Grammy-award and 23-time Dove-award winning artist Chris Tomlin, Dove-award winning band Casting Crowns, Christian hip-hop artist Lecrae, and Northern Irish folk-rock Christian group Rend Collective. These artists and more will share their unique styles of Christian music.

“We couldn’t be more excited about this fantastic lineup of artists, along with other bands who will perform. Their performances, along with the Gospel message, will help share the love and hope of Jesus with more people than ever,” said Nick Hall.

In the last decade, Amplify has drawn as many as 60,000 people for the sole purpose of exposing as many people as possible to the Gospel message of Jesus Christ. The festival leaders expect high attendance again this year.

About Nick Hall

Nick Hall is on earth to tell people about Jesus. He started a grassroots movement as a college student and has spent the last 20 years traveling the world to meet people where they are and tell them that they matter. As a student at North Dakota State University, Nick’s life was changed when he wrote a paper titled “Pulse“ for his English class, hoping to combat the depression, substance abuse, and suicide that was impacting his friends and their campus. That paper unleashed one of the largest student-led efforts in American history, launching a nonprofit that exists today. Through Pulse events, Nick has shared a message of hope with over 300 million people around the globe. Everywhere Nick goes, he talks to people about faith and the deeper issues of life, because he knows what it feels like to make mistakes, experience heartbreak, and be alone. One of the goals of Nick’s life is to come alongside students who desire to impact their high school or college campus, because that’s where this all began. Nick lives in Minneapolis with his wife Tiffany and 3 children.
