Winter Jam, the huge Christian music gathering set to land at State Farm Arena on Sunday, Jan. 16, has been postponed due to an upcoming winter blast set to hit Atlanta the same day.
Premier Productions sent out a press release stating that “due to the impending winter storm, the Atlanta Winter Jam show on January 16th is unable to take place as planned. Please stay tuned to Winter Jam’s socials for further updates.”
The show was set to be headlined by multi-platinum Christian rock band Skillet, along with Tauren Wells, KB, Colton Dixon, I Am They, NewSong and more.
Winter Jam has been a successful tour for many years, even going as large as the Georgia Dome in year’s past.
The process of choosing the acts — which usually begins about a year in advance — is a “prayerful one,” said Billy Goodwin, singer-guitarist of Georgia-based NewSong in 2014. His group, which started in Valdosta in 1981, founded Winter Jam back in 1995.
“We trust that God will open doors to the (artists) we need to get and to us, that’s another stamp of approval that God places on this thing,” Goodwin said at the time.
