Winter Wonder Slam presents Awake Tonight Tour featuring TobyMac & Skillet December 9, 2010

After performing in front of over 90,000 screaming fans last spring, two of the industry’s biggest performers, SKILLET and TOBYMAC, have teamed up once again for the second leg of the Awake Tonight Tour presented by TobyMac’s Winter Wonder Slam.

The highly anticipated 16-city tour will come to Greensboro Coliseum on December 9. Tickets will go on sale Friday, September 17th at www.ticketmaster.com, Ticketmaster outlets, charge-by-phone at 1-800-745-3000 and the Coliseum box office.

To kick off the night will be Diverse City’s SHONLOCK, who will be opening for the two headlining acts by bringing audiences to their feet and prepping them for the jam-packed entertaining night ahead.

Earlier this year, the Awake Tonight Tour was listed as one of the most popular tours landing in the Top 30 concerts, according to Pollstar’s Concert Pulse.

Keeping the focus on the true meaning of the holiday season, in its sixth year, Winter Wonder Slam will continue the gift of giving as the tour joins forces with the U.S. Marine Corps to help with their Toys for Tots campaign. Toys for Tots aims to provide tangible signs of hope to economically disadvantaged children at Christmas. Attendees are invited to bring an unwrapped gift to the event as Marines will be on site to collect toys at every venue. Each year, Winter Wonder Slam produces multiple sell-outs and sets records for the amount of gifts collected for Toys For Tots.
