Tickets are available now for the upcoming Christian music extravaganza, "The Bible Tour 2015."

The 15-city concert series will feature Grammy Award-winner Steven Curtis Chapman, Dove Awards Artist of the Year Francesca Battistelli, Dove Awards Male Vocalist of the Year Brandon Heath, and "American Idol" finalist Danny Gokey.

"The Bible Tour" was inspired by the Mark Burnett and Roma Downey-produced miniseries, "The Bible," and will feature visuals from the ten-episode TV series. The tour is in its second year, and kicks off in Pittsburgh on April 8.

Husband and wife team Burnett and Downey are responsible for bringing several faith-based projects to mainstream audiences. Their new NBC series, "A.D.: Beyond the Bible," is the sequel to the "The Bible," and will premiere on Easter Sunday.

The couple also produced the film "Son of God," and the television special "Women of the Bible".

"It's a rare blessing to witness the phenomenal impact that the mini-series, the subsequent film and the tour have inspired," said Rod Riley, President and CEO of Word Entertainment.

"We are honoured to partner once again with Mark Burnett and Roma Downey, as well as K-LOVE and ChildFund to continue that momentum with some of the finest artists in our industry."

"The Bible Tour" offers VIP packages that includes a Q&A with the artists, memorabilia, and select seating. More information is available on  thebibletour2015.com.
