For the third consecutive year, the Winter Jam Tour Spectacular
reigns as the #1 tour in the world (first quarter). Leading Pollstar's
2013 Worldwide First Quarter Ticket Sales Charts - Top 100 Tours, Winter
Jam attendance surpassed all other tours to date this year, including
outings by Pink, Maroon 5, Justin Bieber and Bon Jovi, among others.
Concluding its 18th season March 30 with a record-setting 42 sellouts
since launching in January, the 44-city mega tour hit some of the
country's largest arenas. With a combined total audience of nearly
554,000 people, this year's tour was the biggest in Winter Jam history.
Founded and hosted by NewSong, Winter Jam was headlined by GRAMMY®-winning, multi-platinum artist TobyMac. The tour also featured RED, Matthew West, Jamie
Grace, Sidewalk Prophets, Royal Tailor, Jason Castro, OBB and Capital Kings.
Highlights of this year's tour included sellouts at such
top venues as Chicago's Sears Centre; Atlanta's Philips Arena; The
Sprint Center in Kansas City; Oklahoma City's Chesapeake Energy Arena;
and Cleveland's Wolstein Center, among numerous others. Winter Jam's
capacity "hometown" stop at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena February 9
