Kingdom Come Festival (Friday and Saturday, June 18th and 19th), 2021 is like two festivals in one, as (at least for now), KCF has absorbed the Capstone Music Festival and encapsulated into a side stage at the Kingdom Come Festival. (See what we did there?) (Previously, it was two separate Christian rock festivals in Indiana, […]

Two huge bands that begin with “S” from two different eras will share the same stage soon: Skillet…which began in the mid to late 1990’s and has never stopped rockin’… And a resurgent 80’s band that lead singer John Cooper grew up listening to as part of his Christian metal album collection: Stryper. Skillet will […]
