Jam Out & Shake Off the Frost!

If January in Atlanta sometimes feels like it needs a little spark, Winter Jam 2026 is ready to deliver just that. Hitting State Farm Arena on Sunday, January 18, this high-octane Christian music tour has built a reputation for combining soaring vocals, anthemic songs, and a sense of community that stretches across the arena floor.

This year’s lineup reads like a greatest-hits playlist of contemporary Christian music. Chris Tomlin and Matthew West bring their signature voices and chart-topping songs, while Katy Nichole and Emerson Day showcase fresh, emerging talent. Fans of rock-leaning sounds can catch Disciple, and Newsong adds their own blend of harmony-driven energy. Between songs, speaker Zane Black will share a message designed to inspire and uplift, reminding attendees why Winter Jam has become more than a concert; it’s a gathering.

A little pre-show magic kicks off the afternoon. Jeremy Rosado, the Heath Brothers, and Cliff Preston will warm up the crowd before doors officially open, giving early arrivals a taste of what’s to come. Jam Nation members get a head start at 3 PM, while general admission opens at 4 PM. The main stage show erupts at 5 PM, and the donation-based entry ($15 at the door) keeps the vibe accessible. There’s no tickets, no stress…just music, community, and a shared sense of joy.

What Makes Winter Jam a Must-See

• Accessible for everyone: Donation-based entry keeps the event open to all, making it easy for first-timers or long-time fans to join in.
• Packed lineup: From worship anthems to rock-tinged hits, there’s something for every Christian music fan.
• Community energy: Atlanta crowds don’t just watch; they sing, clap, and celebrate together, turning the arena into a massive, unified choir.

For locals craving a winter night that feels like more than just another show, Winter Jam is a standout on Atlanta’s event calendar. Whether you’re singing along with Chris Tomlin’s classics, discovering new favorites, or soaking in the communal energy, this is the kind of evening that lingers long after the final note.
