Tickets are $32 for general admission seating to The Heartland Tour, which also features Switchfoot. For tickets, go to showarecenter.com.

Lecrae released his seventh studio album, Anomaly, last year and it debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 Album Chart as well several other Billboard charts including Digital Album, Rap Album, Christian Album and Gospel Album. For the first time in Billboard chart history, an artist occupied the top album spot on both the Gospel Albums and Billboard Top 200 list.

Switchfoot is working on their 10th studio album, having sold 5.7 million copies worldwide of their nine studio albums. The SoCal natives have racked up a string of Alternative radio hit singles, performed sold-out world tours, raised more than $1 million dollars to aid kids in their community through their own Bro-Am Foundation, and earned themselves a global fan base devoted to Switchfoot’s emotionally intelligent and uplifting brand of alternative rock.

Lecrae performed in October 2014 at the ShoWare Center and drew more than 4,000 fans.
