Sheldon, Iowa — Another artist has been announced by Rise Ministries for this summer’s RiseFest.
Here’s Rise Ministries Founder and President Rob Roozeboom.
Wickham will be marking his second appearance at the northwest Iowa music festival.
Wickham, who last appeared at the festival in 2024, is known worldwide for worship anthems, including Living Hope, This Is Amazing Grace, and Battle Belongs — songs that have become staples in churches across the globe. Festival organizers say his music continues to point listeners toward hope and faith, making him a natural fit for the RiseFest stage.
He will join a growing lineup that already includes Josiah Queen, Ben Fuller, and additional artists still to be announced. Organizers say the 2026 festival will once again focus on worship, encouragement, and community, drawing thousands of attendees from across the Midwest and beyond.
Roozeboom says it’s more than just music.
Early Bird tickets for RiseFest 2026 are now available, offering discounted pricing for those who plan. For more information about the festival, including ticket options and future lineup announcements, please visit riseministries.com or risefestiowa.com.
Roozeboom made his comments this week on the KIWA Talk of the Town Program, which can be heard on weekday mornings at 8:30 on KIWA-FM 105.3. We also post a podcast of every Talk of The Town Program, and you can find those by clicking here.
