The Outcry Tour 2015, an all-new worship tour designed to champion the importance of local church, will unite some of the biggest names in Christian music when it kicks off in Chicago this Summer.

Grammy award-nominated artist, Kari Jobe, is among the impressive lineup along with acclaimed singer Crowder and American Music Award-nominated band Hillsong UNITED.

"This summer! It's fun to do life and ministry with friends and movements bigger than yourself. And I love the vision of this tour! Gonna be so fun. Come join us! OutcryTour.com for details! #LouderTogether," Jobe wrote via social networking site Instagram.

The combination of worship leaders and artists headlining the tour includes Trip Lee, Jesus Culture, Bethel Music, Passion, Lauren Daigle, DJ Promote, and DJ Biz.

The highly anticipated event, which is five years in the making, is produced by Premier Productions who co-founded Winter Jam Tour Spectacular. It seeks to showcase "the creativity, heart and mission of the local church."

"It's hard to describe how amazing it is to finally see this dream become a reality," said Shane Quick, co-owner, Premier Productions. "God's timing is everything. This tour is nothing more than a picture of what God is doing through the local church, worldwide. It's the new sound of a 2,000-year-old movement. We could be living in the most creative era in the history of the church. Some of the most gifted worship leaders and musicians in the world will be on one stage with one purpose. Come see what the church is doing."

The national tour kicks off at Chicago's FirstMerit Bank Pavilion at Northerly Island on July 24 and hits at least 10 cities before wrapping up in Southaven, MS on August 7.
