Sheldon, Iowa — It’s November, hardly the time of year when our thoughts turn to summer festivals, but RiseFest 2019 has made their first artist announcement for the June festival.
Rob Roozeboom of Sheldon is the founder and president of Rise Ministries, the organization behind the annual RiseFest Christian music festival held each summer in Sheldon. Roozeboom reminds people that the 2019 festival won’t be held on the traditional Father’s Day Weekend, when the festival has been held since its inception.
In addition, Roozeboom has made the first artist announcement for RiseFest 2019, and he says it’s an artist that has never before graced the RiseFest stage.
Skillet is a Grammy-nominated Christian Rock quartet from Wisconsin that will be performing at RiseFest for the first time, wrapping up the first night of RiseFest 2019, on Friday June 21st. They have received two Grammy Award nominations, and won a Billboard Music Award for their platinum-certified “Awake”. Their double-platinum single “Monster” was “the eighth most-streamed rock song of 2015” on Spotify and would earn the distinction of becoming “the best-selling digital single in the history of Christian Music.”
Tickets for RiseFest 2019 are also on sale now, but with a twist on the way tickets have traditionally been sold.
Roozeboom says the Price Slide Tickets need to be reserved by the end of November to take advantage of the Price Slide.
RiseFest 2019 is scheduled for Friday, June 21st and Saturday June 22nd at the RiseFest Grounds in east Sheldon.
