Chris Tomlin Sells Out L.A.’s Greek Theatre for ‘Worship Under the Stars’

When some people think about Christian music, they still picture the South, the Bible Belt or a packed arena somewhere in Middle America. But this time, one of Christian music’s biggest nights is happening in the heart of Los Angeles.

Chris Tomlin’s Worship Under the Stars 2026 stop at the legendary Greek Theatre has officially sold out, bringing a massive night of worship to one of Southern California’s most iconic outdoor venues — just miles from the center of Hollywood.

That makes this particular sellout feel a little different.

The Greek Theatre has hosted generations of legendary artists, and according to the tour, Tomlin’s sold-out performance marks a rare occasion for a Christian artist at the venue. Hillsong’s 2018 appearance is cited as the last Christian show to sell out the Greek.

For Tomlin, Worship Under the Stars was designed to be more than another concert tour. The idea is simple but powerful: gather people in some of the country’s most beautiful outdoor settings and worship beneath the night sky, celebrating the Creator while surrounded by His creation.

The Greek would sit on a personal short list of venues that can be both large in scale, but intimate and beautiful. Plus for an outdoor show, the weather in Southern California is pretty hard to beat.

In a city synonymous with entertainment, celebrity and pop culture, thousands of people filling the Greek Theatre for a night centered entirely around worship is a reminder that Christian music’s reach extends far beyond any particular region or demographic.

After decades of writing and leading songs that have become part of the soundtrack of churches around the world, Tomlin continues to find new settings for people to experience those songs together. Worship Under the Stars leans into something that has always been central to his music: the power of thousands of individual voices becoming one.

Last year, Chris sat down with CCM Magazine to talk about his music, ministry and the journey that continues to shape his approach to worship. It feels particularly fitting to revisit that conversation as another chapter of that journey unfolds on one of Los Angeles’ most famous stages.

A sold-out Christian concert is worth celebrating anywhere. But there’s something especially compelling about this one: under the stars at the Greek Theatre, in the heart of Los Angeles, thousands of voices will gather for a night that isn’t ultimately about the artist whose name is on the marquee.
