Praise in the Pines preparations continue

Preparations to bring the second Praise in the Pines music festival to the heart of the North Woods this summer continue, which includes announcing the band Newsboys as its headline performance.
“This is truly a special opportunity for Eagle River,” said Bill Lochte, President of the Praise in the Pines board. “Bringing an artist of Newsboys’ caliber to our town is a testament to the heart and spirit of this community. We’re excited to create an unforgettable experience for locals and visitors alike.”
The excitement is already building for residents like Nolan Hansen.
Last year, Hansen attended the festival with his mom, Jennifer, and was thrilled to participate in a meet-and-greet with the band.
“It was such a cool experience,” Hansen shared. “I couldn’t believe I got to meet them right here in my town.”

Hansen was excited to be able to worship with his best friend since second grade, Sarah. This year, he’s eagerly anticipating Newsboys’ performance and has already purchased his tickets.
Until Jan. 1, 2025, there will be a “Trailblazer” promotion offering 20% off main floor and bleacher seats.
“Imagine the smiles on your loved ones’ faces when they unwrap tickets to see Newsboys live in Eagle River. This makes a great Christmas present,” Lochte noted, urging everyone to take advantage of this limited-time offer.
Organizers say that they are expecting a record-breaking turnout for the event and say tickets will never be this inexpensive after Jan. 1.
Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased online at praiseinthepines.org.
