Rend Collective: Campfire Tour
Sunday, April 14, 2024 at 7:00pm
Concert Description:
Help us celebrate 10 years of Campfire!
It feels like just yesterday that we brought our instruments to a chilly Northern Irish beach and sang around the campfire with a few of our friends. We had no idea we were standing at the edge of a global worship movement! (It didn’t feel all that spiritual at the time – my outstanding memory of the occasion is that Gareth permanently singed his leg hairs!)
We’ve been trying to work out how to celebrate this big landmark and we realized we couldn’t do it without you! So we’re putting together a completely different kind of tour – all the cozy campfire feelings and folksy nostalgia of that era, plus we’re going to play all the new classics we’ve written since then, but presented in a totally new way. Basically all the stuff you (hopefully) love about Rend.
This is a completely different live show – even if you’ve seen us 10 times already this year, you haven’t seen this!
Come and join us – there’s nothing quite like a Campfire.
Concert Details:
– All ticket sales are final
– Ticket prices are subject to increase at the door
– Kids 2 and under are free but must sit on a lap and not take a seat
– Discounted tickets available for Trinity students
