Festival Con Dios

'Festival Con Dios'[1] was a traveling Christian music festival that began in spring 2001. The first festival was started by Newsboys and also featured Audio Adrenaline, The O.C. Supertones, Pillar, T-Bone, The Benjamin Gate, Skillet, Switchfoot, and others. This was one of the largest CCM traveling festivals to date. The tour continued the next year (2002), with Toby Mac co-headlining with Audio Adrenaline and Out Of Eden. The Newsboys again headlined in 2003 with Plus One. The tour was scheduled to run again in 2005, but never made it to the road.

The festival not only included many bands, but also multiple booths, events, and shows, such as BMX and motocross demonstrations. The usual festival emcee was Christian comedian Bob Smiley. A festival compilation CD has been released after each festival's completion.

Festival Con Dios means "Festival with God".
