STATE COLLEGE — Five-time Grammy Award-winning artist Brandon Lake will bring his largest headlining tour to the Bryce Jordan Center on Friday, March 20, 2026, as part of his newly announced 48-city “King of Hearts” arena tour.
The tour announcement, made on Friday, April 4, from Nashville, follows the reveal of Lake’s forthcoming album “King of Hearts,” which is set for release Friday, June 13, of this year. The tour is presented by TPR and comes on the heels of record-breaking ticket sales for Lake’s recent co-headlining “Summer Worship Nights” tour with Phil Wickham.
Lake, a South Carolina native and nationally acclaimed worship leader, will take the stage in State College at the Bryce Jordan Center during what promises to be his most ambitious tour to date. Tickets will go on sale the week of Monday, April 21, with pre-sale options available through Ticketmaster.com.
Lake’s growing momentum has only intensified in recent months. People magazine exclusively revealed he will perform on American Idol on Sunday, April 20, in celebration of his upcoming album and tour. That performance is expected to introduce “King of Hearts” to a wider mainstream audience.
The tour and album announcements follow a special “Record Reveal” event held in Lake’s hometown of Charleston, where fans were given an exclusive first look at the 16-song album. “King of Hearts” includes tracks co-written by Lake, including two previously released songs — “That’s Who I Praise” and “Hard Fought Hallelujah”— both of which have already gained significant traction among fans and streaming platforms.
“Hard Fought Hallelujah” has continued to gain momentum across multiple platforms. Since its initial release in 2024, the song has drawn more than 5.5 million streams per week, reached No. 1 on Christian radio (Mediabase) and debuted at No. 51 on the Billboard Hot 100. A new version featuring country-rock breakout Jelly Roll was released in February and is helping to bridge fan bases across music genres.
Lake’s music continues to expand globally, with over 2.5 billion total career streams and more than 21 million total streams each week. His passionate performances and relatable lyrics have helped elevate him to one of the most recognized voices in Christian music today.
In addition to his music, Lake is the author of “Little Lion Lungs,” a faith-based children’s book based on his hit song “Gratitude.” The book is meant to help children understand what worship is and empower children to have a relationship with Jesus.
Lake lives in Charleston with his wife, Brittany and their three sons. Through his music, writing and ministry, he hopes to empower people to live with boldness, faith and purpose.
