MercyMe books Brookshire Grocery Arena for a Sunday night in April

The Christian-music hitmakers bring their LIVE 2027 tour to Bossier City on April 18, with Ben Fuller and Peter Burton opening, and tickets are already on sale.

On Sunday, April 18, 2027, MercyMe plays Brookshire Grocery Arena at 6:30 p.m., with Ben Fuller and Peter Burton opening.

The date was announced October 16 as part of MercyMe's spring 2027 run, billed as MercyMe LIVE. The arena posted the press release on its own site, and the routing is substantial: 31 shows between March 11 at the Berglund Center in Roanoke, Virginia, and May 2 at the Ford Center in Evansville, Indiana. Bossier City lands in the back half, a few nights before the tour's April 23 stop at Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln, Nebraska.

If you haven't bought yet, you're not early. The Ticketmaster presale opened October 20 and the general on-sale followed on October 21, so seats have been moving for more than a week. Tickets run $27.45 to $215.65 through Ticketmaster, and that spread is wide enough that a family can still go without spending a car payment, as long as they don't wait for the cheap sections to clear out.

The openers are worth getting there on time for. Ben Fuller works the line between contemporary Christian music and country-style storytelling. He has been on the road enough lately to put out a live record, Black Sheep Tour: Songs From the Road. Peter Burton comes from the worship side of the genre, so the early part of the night will likely lean toward congregational singing before the headliner arrives.

31 shows, one Sunday night in Bossier City.

The room makes sense for this kind of tour. Brookshire Grocery Arena, out on Brookshire Arena Drive, holds 14,000.

The practical advice is simple. Settle the group headcount now, buy together so you're sitting together, and check the arena's ticket-info page for bag and parking rules before April. Some venues on this run set their own local on-sale times, so if you saw a different time somewhere else, go by the arena's page and Ticketmaster.

Mark the Sunday and plan the drive.
