Generation Exodus Foundation Announces “The Drop Tour” With Capital Kings, NF And DJ Promote, Kicking Off Today

Greg Knapp joins the team as Director of Touring and Marketing

Nashville, Tenn. (November 11, 2015) – The non-profit concert promotion organization Generation Exodus Foundation announces “The Drop Tour,” featuring Capital Kings, NF and DJ Promote. The tour will kick off today in Grand Rapids, MI. On the heels of announcing their tour partnership with Capitol Christian Music Group, “The Drop Tour” is expected to hit nightclubs in each city.

“I think it’s great that music is so accessible, but listening to music versus going to shows is such a different experience," says Jamie Nixon. "Unless you’re able to go see live shows, it’s difficult to appreciate the sound and the energy. We're excited to bring these artists and this tour to general market venues, accessible to a wide audience.”

With tour dates planned for venues such as Santos Party House in New York, the Mercury Ballroom in Louisville and The Stache in Grand Rapids, Generation Exodus strives on attracting the iGeneration, young adults dedicated to the electrifying EDM movement. For more information on “The Drop Tour,” visit genexconcerts.com/drop-tour.

In addition to the tour, Generation Exodus has also announced the hire of Greg Knapp as the Director of Touring and Marketing. In his new role, Knapp will travel on "The Drop Tour" bus, acting as a liaison through Generation Exodus. Knapp was formerly a Pastor at the Calvary Baptist Church in the greater Pittsburgh area.
