MercyMe plays Santander Arena on Easter Sunday

The Christian band's spring arena tour reaches Reading on Sunday, April 4, with Ben Fuller and Peter Burton opening.

On Sunday, April 4, 2027, MercyMe plays Santander Arena in Reading, the Sunday after Easter. Families across Lancaster, Berks and Dauphin counties have a Sunday-night show to plan around.

MercyMe plays Santander Arena in Reading on Sunday, April 4, 2027, at 7 p.m., with Ben Fuller and Peter Burton. Tickets run $28.65 to $218.70 through Ticketmaster. The date was announced Oct. 16, and the arena holds 7,083.

The Reading show is part of a spring leg that begins Thursday, March 11, at the Berglund Center in Roanoke, Va., and runs to Sunday, May 2, at the Ford Center in Evansville, Ind. Ben Fuller and Peter Burton are set to open throughout the run. It follows MercyMe's fall 2026 tour, which included a stop at the Fishers Event Center in Indiana, so the band is going straight from one arena run into the next.

A Sunday arena show with a 7 p.m. start that gets everyone home by bedtime.

Ben Fuller has put out a new live album, *Black Sheep Tour: Songs from the Road*, recorded on his own headlining run. Peter Burton rounds out the bill.

Santander Arena gives the tour room to work. At just over 7,000 capacity, it's large enough for a full arena production and still close enough to Lancaster and Harrisburg for a Sunday-night drive. The price range is wide, too: from under $30 at the low end to more than $200 at the top, which makes it workable for a family of four or a church youth group buying a block.

Plan the drive and get to Reading by 7.

Tickets are on sale through Ticketmaster now.
