About Rock the River

Launched by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, Rock the River is a new evangelistic summer concert tour for youth featuring top Christian hard rock and hip-hop bands.  The one-day outdoor events are traveling up the Mississippi River from Louisiana to Minnesota, packed with hours of high-voltage music and brief, challenging messages by Franklin Graham.

Music helps bring youth together from all walks of life.  That's why the Rock the River Tour has invited some of today's top Christian hip-hop and hard rock bands.
