Delirious? Rings the "Mission Bell" Worldwide

|PIC1|Over the past few months since releasing their eighth studio album, The Mission Bell, legendary Christian rock band Delirious? has reached out to over a million people around the world as a result of diligent touring.

Last February in India alone, the band delivered their music to an audience of 1.2 million while touring with dynamic preacher Joyce Meyer. And if that wasn’t enough, front man Martin Smith and guitarist Stu G recently travelled to Rwanda to reach out to thousands more.

Following a U.S. tour, the British rock band recently embarked on a Europe tour that takes them to Croatia, Germany, Switzerland, and UK. Last Saturday, the band performed at the Royal Albert Hall in central London for Crusaders’ 100th anniversary.

Smith commented: “I think it’s incredible for any organisation to run this long.”

Delirious? received a vibrant reception from the crowd as thousands jumped up and down and sang in unison, rocking the Hall from floor to balcony.

The sold-out centenary celebration was titled ‘No Turning Back: The Main Event’ and featured music from some of the UK’s top Christian bands and performers including yFriday, thebandwithnoname, Blush, The Psalm Drummers, Rob Lacey (Street Bible Theatre Company), Steve Legg, Tommy Baker, Tim Vine and John Archer.

During an interview with Christian Today prior to their performance, the band revealed upcoming plans for a book called “The Delirious Code”- also referred as "The 'D' Code"- which will elaborate on the stories behind their songs. In the summer the band will shoot a DVD, which will release in December.
