MercyMe Tour Dates & Upcoming Concerts

We had a girls night - my 84 year old mom, 2 of our best friends and me. Micah Tyler was excellent and Bart + MercyMe did not disappoint; they are all so humble and talented. It was just a blessing and made great memories. We all came together and celebrated our deceased friend and sister, who died earlier this year from pancreatic cancer. We had all seen the Imagine movie together and had always planned to see MercyMe after that. I cried like a baby but enjoyed every minute. The only negative is the arena served beer/cocktails and I just found that a little odd at a Christian concert.

This started as another opportunity to see MercyMe in concert, but when I read about this event, I knew it was karma and calling for me to attend. Have wanted to increase my spiritual life, self evaluation, acknowledging how important God is in my life, and being with like women seemed to be the appropriate way! When I decided to make this trip, I discussed it with a close friend and coworker who decided she wanted to attend bring her mom. The 3 of us had a beautiful experience and have all preregistered for 2020. We are going to share our experiences with our friends and bring a larger group next year!

When I purchased my tickets, they were scheduled to play at the Riverside, and it wasn't until my party got to the riverside that we were told it's at Miller high life theater. We decided to walk, got lost and made it there half an hour late... not a great start. But God got us there before Mercy Me started and they did not disappoint. I was informed by the check in attendant that they are known to switch theaters. I was not notified of this switch and will be reluctant to visit a downtown event in the future... it was not girl's night out friendly.😔

I really enjoyed the concert! I really liked the acoustics at the arie crown! The beer drinking lounge was old school! I remember being down in that area in the 70s with my dad and uncle getting to meet Walter Payton. Nice volume, because my ears were not ringing. It did get too late for us old fogeys. Seems to be the trend. I counted 6 songs from their newest album. I know I will grow to like the new songs more over time. MercyMe has not changed much through the years. It was more about the music for me than the show.

We love MercyMe. We love thier message, thier music and have seen them live frequently. Honestly, we are not going this time because of the venue. The last few concerts we have driven over an hour to see the show only to be misdirected by police into parking lots that are not allocated and having to figure out back routes to get to the parking that we've already paid for. The signage is not clear. We have started avoiding concerts at this arena. We will go other places to see MercyMe.
