Though each has their own unique style, MercyMe, TobyMac and Zach Williams are joined by their commitment to spreading God's love through music. The three popular contemporary Christian acts will share their songs and the stage during a 12-city tour that includes Nationwide Arena on Nov. 19.

Tickets go on sale at noon Friday at ticketmaster.com.

Multiple award-winning MercyMe, who were named Billboard's Top Christian Artist of the 2010 decade, came onto the Christian music scene with their 2001 debut album, "Almost There." The album yielded the megahit, "I Can Only Imagine," which won a Dove Award for Song of the Year in 2002. But it wasn't until three years after its release that the single saw mainstream success.

"I Can Only Imagine" has since become the most-played song in the history of Christian radio as well as the best-selling Christian song of all time, and was adapted into a film by the same name that ranks as the fifth-highest-grossing music biopic of all time in the U.S.

'Imagine' that: How did 'I Can Only Imagine' become the biggest Christian hit ever (and inspire a movie)?

First known for being a member of the Christian rap and rock trio DC Talk, TobyMac has amassed more than 16 million units in career sales and his six studio solo projects all have achieved gold certification, a first for any artist in the history of his label, Capitol Christian Music Group.

Christian contemporary veteran TobyMac will appear with MercyMe and Zach Williams at Nationwide Arena in November.

The seven-time Grammy Award winner's songs have been featured in numerous movies and television shows, as well as in commercials, video games and sports programming.

Zach Williams, who holds two Grammys, made radio history with two consecutive No. 1 hits for 35 weeks, his debut singles "Chain Breaker" and "Old Church Choir."

He performed the multi-week No. 1 single "There Was Jesus," live with Dolly Parton on the 53rd Annual CMA Awards in 2019 and reunited with the country legend last November to sing the certified gold song on Parton's "Mountain Magic Christmas."
