About hitting the road again and doing so with Audio Adrenaline, MercyMe's Bart Millard had this to say: "Words cannot express how excited we are to have AudioA on this tour! They have played a huge part in getting MercyMe its start, so getting the chance to take them out for their final farewell is a no brainer. This tour is really going to rock."

"The last 15 years have been nothing short of a miracle," commented AudioA's lead singer and founding member Mark Stuart. "Every moment...every concert...every song was such a gift from God. We can't think of a better way to say goodbye to the greatest fans in the world than doing it on tour with our best friends, MercyMe." This tour will be the final tour for one of the industries top bands, Audio Adrenaline, and also adding a final chapter to its substantial career will be "ADIOS: The Greatest Hits," releasing Aug. 1.
