Ticket Information

Hello friends, 

 

I, along with the entire team at IMC Concerts, as well as the artists involved in the Caravan Tour, have been eager to re-connect with each of you on the West Coast. Regretfully, due to reasons beyond our control, we have had to make the difficult decision to cancel this event in San Bernardino. 

 

Prayerfully, we do hope to return to your area in the very near future. Plans are already underway for Ernie Haase & Signature Sound to return in December of 2023, David Phelps in January of 2024, and The Collingsworth Family in March of 2024. We have NOT forgotten you. Please continue to pray for the artists affected by this difficult decision as well as IMC Concerts. 

 

Sincerely, 

 

Landon Beene

President of IMC Concerts

Notes

Landon Beene, President and CEO of IMC Concerts and Events, is thrilled to announce the multi-city West Coast Tour, which will include some of gospel music’s favorite artists. We sat down with Landon to discuss the details of this dynamic new tour.

“I grew up in California and have great memories of when two or three gospel groups would come out to our area on tour together in the 80’s and 90’s. Those multi-artists tours are the inspiration for the Caravan Tour.” - Landon Beene

How did you come up with the concept for this tour?


The (West Coast) Gospel Music Caravan is a twofold concept: bringing a big event to people who love gospel music and bringing those people along on the tour!

IMC has always had a passion for bringing gospel music to the West Coast. I grew up in California and have great memories of when two or three gospel groups would come out to our area on tour together in the 80s and 90s. Those multi-artist tours are the inspiration for the Caravan Tour.

Why these four cities? 


If you look at the map, these four markets are evenly spread out, from top to bottom, on the U.S. West Coast. We realize that in order to keep this music alive on that side of the country, we need to take the music to THEM! The pandemic has really caused a lapse in gospel music going into the region, as well as the western provinces of Canada. Single night tours are still happening, but the larger events have diminished over the last few years. Our goal is to change that.

Why have you decided on multi-day events in each market?


IMC hosts several multi-day events each year. We have seen the benefit of hosting several sessions in order to maximize the time at the events. It gives those people who are driving long distances the opportunity to take in more music and have a more meaningful overall experience.

Why are there days scheduled between the concert dates?


While on tour, artists typically travel to a different market each night. They travel on a motor coach and are able to sleep while heading to the next concert date.  We are hoping that many of the attendees will want to travel along with the caravan to each market. That is why we have intentionally included a few days off between stops; to create a travel schedule that accommodates the attendees. It also provides the opportunity for artists and attendees alike to enjoy free time, enabling them to sightsee along the way.

Is each event the same?


There will be some similarities, yes, but while four of the artists will act as hosts at all of the events, each market will showcase two additional artists so that each event will be fresh and slightly different. By doing this, we have been able to include the top artists in gospel music during the 12-day caravan.

What if attendees can only come to one or two of the events?


Great question! Each event will be priced and ticketed separately as a standalone event. This way our attendees can pick and choose which events they want to attend. Our hope is that many people will choose to make more than one stop with us. We also hope to have people from the South, Midwest and East Coast who will fly to the first event, rent a car or van and plan to join us for the entirety of our first ever Caravan Tour!
