Spirit West Coast – Del Mar 2012

The big news for Christian music fans in Southern California, Arizona and Southern Nevada is that the 3-day Spirit West Coast Christian music festival is returning to Del Mar in 2012 after a one year hiatus in 2011. The second “big story” is that the Memorial Day weekend festival’s lineup will once again feature the very best in Christian music talent just like it has since the event’s Southern California beginning in 2004. Headliners for the May 25-27 concert extravaganza include TobyMac, MercyMe, Tenth Avenue North and Family Force 5. Additional Main Stage artists include top radio hit maker Matthew West, The Afters, current Dove Award winner for Male Artist of the Year Chris August and legendary Jesus Music era band Love Song. The rock stage will feature Fireflight, Seventh Day Slumber, Disciple, Manafest and many others. The booking process is not complete so several artists who will be appearing are yet to be announced. Speaking at the 2012 event will be Nick Vujicic who spoke in 2009 and was probably the most effective evangelistic speaker in the history of SWC. Spirit West Coast is held at the spacious Del Mar Fairgrounds and is a very unique special event that also features exhibits, food vendors, worship, teaching, Christian comedy, a children’s fun zone and more.
