The Pella Opera House in Iowa will welcome the Dove Award-winning band Sidewalk Prophets to the stage on Saturday, March 7th. Sidewalk Prophets is a contemporary Christian music group that has released multiple hit songs and albums since their debut in 2003. The band will be performing an 'An Acoustic Evening with Sidewalk Prophets' show at the intimate 300-seat Pella Opera House theater.

Why it matters

Sidewalk Prophets is a well-established Christian music act with a strong national following. Hosting them at the historic Pella Opera House provides an opportunity for the local community to experience the band's music in a more personal, stripped-down setting compared to their typical large-venue concerts.

The details

Sidewalk Prophets has amassed over 240 million career on-demand streams, 1.88 million digital tracks sold, and 82.4 million YouTube views since their debut album in 2003. For their Pella Opera House show, the four-piece band will perform an acoustic set, focusing on their vocals and instrumentation without the production of a larger concert. Pella Opera House Executive Director Cyndi Atkins says this intimate format will allow the audience to connect more closely with the band's message and music.

  • The Pella Opera House show is scheduled for Saturday, March 7, 2026.

What they’re saying

“What they're doing in their sets, is it's the four of them and their voices, instruments just to support their voices. They're not performing in an auditorium with 15,000 people. It's in our theater, which is an intimate 300 seat theater, where they can really be personal with the audience and talk about their message, their music, as well as singing their songs. You're just able to really hear what's being said.”
