(NASHVILLE, Tenn.) Sept. 29, 2008—Sparrow Records award-winning Canadian modern rock band Starfield brings its highly successful “I Will Go” Tour to the U.S. this fall. The tour that has already played successfully in Canada, the U.K. and Europe now marks Starfield’s first-ever headlining slot in the U.S. The “I Will Go” Tour will feature new Sparrow Records artist Above The Golden State as the opening act.

“We’ve taken this tour out in Canada twice, once with Shane and Shane and a second time with Will Graham, the grandson of the great Billy Graham. It will be great to finally bring this show to our friends in the U.S.,” says guitarist Jon Neufeld. This will be the band’s second U.S. tour in 2008, after joining Shane and Shane on its “Vision of You” Tour earlier this year.

The “I Will Go” Tour centers around the title track of Starfield’s latest Sparrow Records release I Will Go. The song “I Will Go” commissions people to give time and energy, and not just money, to help those in need. “This is a media-influenced generation, so for this tour we invested a lot of time and energy into the video, lighting and those kinds of elements,” says lead singer Tim Neufeld. “But our real hope is that at the end of the night, people are left with a tug on their hearts to find new ways to love and serve the world around them.”

Joining the tour is Starfield’s newest label mate, Above The Golden State. Hailing from Portland, Ore., the band signed with Sparrow Records earlier this year and released its self-titled label debut on July 22, 2008. In addition to garnering critical acclaim, the album’s first single, “Sound of Your Name,” is on the verge of breaking into the Christian AC Top 10.

Starfield gained strong momentum, achieving its best radio success, album sales and touring season in the band’s six-year history with its last project Beauty in the Broken. Then inspired by its home congregation, Starfield began to write new songs of substance and style. The substance became the theme and title of the album, I Will Go. The project has made Starfield’s musical mission very clear. The band now brings an intentional message that encourages the listeners to help a hurting world.

(NASHVILLE, Tenn.) August 12, 2008 – Sparrow Records Dove Award-winning modern rock band Starfield from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, has gained quite a following here in the U.S. Even so, this year’s recipient of the Gospel Music Association’s International Award takes its show overseas to share its music and message with fans in Europe and the UK.

This month Starfield makes appearances in the United Kingdom and Europe, taking part in seven festivals including Flevo, Soul Survivor and Greenbelt. Starfield first performed for fans in Sweden at the Frizon Festival and headlined a show in Biel, Switzerland. Between performances at the UK’s Soul Survivor on August 13 and 18, the band will entertain audiences at Flevo in the Netherlands on August 14, Revo Fest in Germany on August 15 and Fuel Festival in Belfast, Ireland August 16. Before returning to North America, Starfield plays main stage at the Greenbelt Festival on August 22. In addition, the band is already confirmed to headline Scotland's Frenzy Festival in June 2009.

Starfield also played the Netherlands’ EO Youth Day in June. Says EO Youth Day Music Director Tim Dik, “I was very excited that Starfield would be playing EO Youth Day 2008. I saw the band several times in the U.S., and I knew immediately I had to invite them to the Netherlands. I was convinced that their great live performance and powerful worship songs would match perfectly with all the other things happening that day. With 30,000 visitors, EO Youth Day is Europe’s largest Christian youth event and is broadcast live on national television. It was an unforgettable experience for all of us.”

The band’s busy summer came on the heels of a spring tour in native Canada. The tour sold 18,000 tickets in just 16 cities with the largest sold-out show in Toronto welcoming 2,000 fans. Starfield will visit 12 Canadian cities again this September alongside Will Graham and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.

Returning to the States this fall, Starfield will be joined by new Sparrow Records artist Above the Golden State for a 35-city tour in October and November. Crisscrossing the country, the tour will kick off in Sacramento, Calif., work its way to New York City and finish in Seattle.
