THIRD DAY – HEADS FOR SOUTH AFRICA

Glamorous Productions are proud to announce that world-class award-winning Rock Band Third Day will tour South Africa in November 2009.  This is the first for the band to reach our shores, and will prove that Christian Rock is a force to be reckoned with.  They are currently the top-selling Christian Rock Band in World.

Recently, Third Day celebrated its first American Music Award win in the Contemporary Inspirational category.
Lead singer Mac Powell said What an unbelievable honor to win an award in a category with such great friends. This is our first AMA win and it means so much to us because its voted on by fans and we are certain we have the best fans anyone could ever ask for.  Thank you for this tremendous honor.

Multi-platinum-selling rock band Third Day has played to millions of fans in numerous sold-out arenas around the world. Its garnered 24 No. 1 singles across multiple formats not to mention armloads of Grammy and Dove Awards. Yet the bands willingness to struggle openly before fans and critics alike to unearth its identity, purpose and mission stands as Third Days most valued accomplishment during its first decade together.  Backing up the band’s ascent, Billboard magazine noted the act is “not only one of the best Christian bands of the ’90s but one of the best rock bands, period.

Third Day has clearly weathered the difficult climb from obscurity to success, but the band is hardly suffering from over-confidence or complacency.  In fact, the bands eleventh album, Revelation, addresses that very issue head-on. Rather than lean back in a figurative easy chair, Third Day challenged itself immensely, shaking up its direction and reasserting its place as a rock band of enormous depth and passion.

Our career is like a dream I didnt even know I had, drummer David Carr says.Its gone beyond anything I could have dreamed of.

During the past 15 years, Third Day has built an impressive career.  The Georgia-based band has won 23 Gospel Music Association Dove Awards, four GRAMMY Awards, earned two consecutive American Music Award nods, and multiple ASCAP honors for their songwriting skills.  Their catalog of hits has helped define the Christian radio landscape for more than a decade while the band scored 24 No. 1 singles and sold more than six million albums.
Success has also earned them respect and admiration from other artists, and Revelation, the bands 11th studio album, features some intriguing collaborations. Pedal steel guitar phenomenon Robert Randolph adds his distinctive flair to the raucous Southern-fried anthem Otherside, also Chris Daughtry, a longtime Third Day fan, adds his unique voice on the somg titled Slow Down and Flyleafs Lacey Mosely lends her beautiful vocal the poignant ballad, Born Again.

Third Day will perform at the Wave House, Gateway on Thursday 5th of November at 8pm. Tickets are on sale now at R150 for general and R250 for golden circle, at the Wave House; DIVA Pavilion and Hillcrest KwikSpar.
