Hi everyone,

The Christian rock world is in shock.

Newsboys, one of the biggest names in Christian music, have filed a $5.4 million defamation lawsuit against Canadian promoter Faith LIVE after their Canadian tour was canceled.

The dispute arises from the sudden exit of frontman Michael Tait amid serious allegations, which Faith LIVE claims caused ticket sales to fall. The Newsboys claim the promoter’s public statements damaged their credibility, reputation, and career opportunities, resulting in canceled shows like Finland’s Glow Festival and lost radio placements.

Faith LIVE denies any wrongdoing, claiming they acted with integrity to protect fans and the faith community.

Newsboys filed a lawsuit on June 17, 2025, in Alberta, Canada and Tennessee, United States, seeking $5.4 million in damages.
