Every summer, something special happens in Benton, Arkansas. Thousands of people gather for a weekend that combines incredible live music, powerful speakers, and the kind of community you don’t forget. That’s Amplify.
Here are five reasons Amplify should be at the top of your summer plans.
1. It’s the Largest Free Christian Music Festival in the U.S.
Amplify is an admission-free, weekend-long festival drawing in thousands for its incredible live music. Expect a lineup that spans across powerful worship, country, rap, hip hop, and more. You won’t find an experience like this anywhere else. Just reserve your free ticket and show up.
2. The Lineup Is Stacked
This year’s artists are bringing everything from worship to country to hip hop. You’ll experience live performances from:
- Anne Wilson
- Phil Wickham
- Ben Fuller
- Hulvey
- Micah Tyler
- Crutchfield
- NLC Worship
Each artist brings something different to the stage, but a shared purpose runs through it all—music that’s honest, meaningful, and rooted in faith.
3. It’s About More Than Music
Amplify isn’t just about what happens on stage; it’s about what happens in people’s lives. Amplify is a space where people encounter hope and leave changed. You’ll hear a powerful message from Evangelist Nick Hall, along with opportunities to grow in your faith and learn how to share it with others through evangelism training.
“We want every person to hear about Jesus and be equipped to share Him with others.” — Nick Hall
4. There’s Something for Everyone
