KINGDOM BOUND AT DARIEN LAKE THIS AUGUST 2-5
Buffalo, N.Y. (June 19, 2009) - Kingdom Bound Christian Music Festival will offer attendees great value for their money this August 2-5 at Darien Lake Theme Park Resort with over 80 inspiring concerts and seminars. Internationally-known, multi-platinum selling artists Salvador, Casting Crowns, Israel Houghton, and Newsboys will be nightly headliners at the park's open-air Performing Arts Center in Darien Center, New York, halfway between Buffalo and Rochester.
"Sunday night, August 2nd, Salvador will kick things off with a Latin-tinged 'praise party,' Monday night will be Casting Crowns featuring men and women in a band that will have everyone singing along, Israel Houghton's style brings together people from different races and ethnicities on Tuesday night, and Wednesday night's concert by Newsboys will be a rock show that's quite the spectacle, so I expect this year's Kingdom Bound will appeal to a very broad audience," says Mark Weber, of ChristianMusicDaily.com.
Kingdom Bound, one of North America's largest and longest running events of its kind, typically attracts about 55,000 people from all over the United States and Canada for four days of faith, fun, and fellowship through concerts and seminars.
"This year, people are being extra careful with how they spend their money. For as little as $135 per person, Kingdom Bound attendees get access to Darien Lake's more than 40 rides and attractions including a water park, and more than 80 concerts and seminars, plus on-grounds accomodations for four nights," says Weber. "Staying on grounds for the entire festival is a great value for your vacation. Lots of people are dusting off their tents this summer because it's so affordable."
Kingdom Bound starts on Sunday evening, August 2, and continues through Wednesday evening, August 5, culminating in a concert by longtime festival favorite, the Newsboys. Other musical guests at this year's festival include Blues Counsel, Bluetree, Ceili Rain, DecembeRadio, Downhere, Elias, Everyday Sunday, Family Force 5, Fireflight, Francesca Battistelli, Hawk Nelson, Hello Kelly, Jason Upton, Laura Story, Lenny LeBlanc, Manafest, Manic Drive, Matt Maher, Matthew West, Mitch McVicker, Natalie Grant, New World Son, Paul Baloche, Phil Joel, Pillar, Relevant Worship, Red, Remedy Drive, Robin Mark, Sanctus Real, Since October, Skillet, Unspoken, and We As Human. Speakers will include: Wes Aarum, Keith Davis, Jerry Gillis, Bob Lenz, Ryan Loos, Justin Lookadoo, David Nasser, Dr. Matthew Sleeth, and Brett Ullman. In addition, this year's Kingdom Bound will feature an Urban Worship night on Sunday, along with several guest "Holy Hip-Hop" artists.
