Forrest Frank Sets Attendance Record for Christian Artist at Kentucky Venue

American singer-songwriter and music producer Forrest Frank has captivated audiences at just 31 years old. As a member of the Christian music superduo Party Wave, Frank has become known for his hit tunes, "2 Step the Enemy," "Somebody Prayed" and the "TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE."

With four GMA Dove Awards, he brings in secular and Christian audiences alike. His most recent accomplishment, however, was setting an attendance record at the KFC Yum! venue in Louisville, Kentucky.

On Tuesday, July 28, Frank’s “The Jesus Generation Tour” hosted over 20,400 fans in Louisville’s convention center. Frank just surpassed Brandon Lake’s record for Christian music attendance at his “King of Hearts” tour with 15,000 fans three months ago.

According to WDRB, Frank’s attendance “is the second-largest attended concert in the center's history and the largest since Metallica set its all-time attendance record with more than 23,000 fans in March 2019. The center said that ranks Frank at No. 2 in concert attendance in the venue's history and the largest Christian concert ever held at the center.”

In a world of mainstream entertainment and often secular music trends, KFC Yum! Center’s General Manager Eric Granger calls Frank’s concert “nothing short of a defining moment for faith-based live entertainment." 

This isn’t just a huge win for the Christian entertainment industry but for Frank’s personal ministry.

According to the Christian Post, Frank also brought in nearly 30,000 at Nashville's GEODIS Park in Nashville, Tennessee, during Father's Day weekend in June 2026. As part of his 29-stop “Jesus Generation Tour,” many were looking forward to Frank’s next and last high-energy show. Frank’s “Jesus Generation Tour” had one final stop on Aug. 1 at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. The show featured Tori Kelly, Cory Asbury and The Figs, and is for all ages.
