The Protest at Kingdom Come Fest 2020<\/p>\n
Indiana’s own The Protest has a BIG following in the Hoosier state.\u00a0 \u00a0They are from New Castle, Indiana, about an hour and a half away from the venue near Greentown, a village near Kokomo.\u00a0 Lead singer Joshua Bramlett says the band is “not a big deal in their hometown of New Castle.”<\/p>\n
That lines up with Luke 4:24, where Jesus says \u201cTruly I tell you,\u00a0<\/span>no prophet is accepted in his hometown.”\u00a0 But in their nearby adopted hometown of Kokomo and in Greentown, and at the Kingdom Come Festival, they are huge.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n Here’s how we know that:\u00a0 the crowd for the mid-evening The Protest concert on Saturday was larger than the crowd for the headliner Disciple.\u00a0 And that is certainly not a knock on Disciple…it’s a testament to how popular The Protest is in their home state.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The band left New Castle at 9:30 in the morning and didn’t finish that 90 minute drive until early evening, as their bus broke down three times in between New Castle and Greentown.<\/p>\n We know who didn’t want them to come, but the devil did not win.\u00a0 \u00a0God got ’em to the fest, bus and all, and they put on a great rock show.\u00a0 \u00a0Highlights included Welcome To The Freakshow,\u00a0<\/em>a rockin’ cover of Michael Jackson’s 1982 pop radio hit\u00a0Beat It,\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Noise Revolution<\/em>, which is chronicled here:<\/p>\n
