What:	Live Nation proudly presents MUSIC BUILDS TOUR featuring THIRD DAY, SWITCHFOOT, ROBERT RANDOLPH & the FAMILY BAND and JARS OF CLAY at the Broomfield Event Center on Sunday October 12. Showtime is 6:00 PM. Doors open at 5:00 PM. GRAMMY® award-winning band Third Day and multi-Platinum rockers Switchfoot will team up with the acclaimed Robert Randolph & the Family Band and GRAMMY award winners Jars of Clay for the "Music Builds" tour, which will kick off on August 21st in Detroit, MI and conclude in Denver, CO on October 12th. Exclusive content and promotions for the tour will be available via MySpace's Impact Channel, the site's platform for social and civic engagement. All four headliners will preview material from their upcoming studio albums on the "Music Builds" tour, which will hit amphitheatres and select arenas in 23 major U.S. markets. "We couldn't be more excited for this opportunity to play on the same bill with bands we respect, and to help an organization whose work we respect," says Third Day bassist Tai Anderson. "The only message we have for our fans is this: Get ready." Adds Jon Foreman, lead vocalist for Switchfoot: "We have all worked with Habitat for Humanity before, and when approached about touring together, to benefit such a great cause, it was easy to say yes. We all want to be a part of something that makes a difference. Through Habitat this tour will help build houses for many deserving families - that's something we can all rally around." Habitat for Humanity affiliates located in tour cities will be the beneficiaries of a portion of the funds raised during the tour, through a multi-platform program run by Hollywood for Habitat for Humanity and Live Nation, in conjunction with the artists. The tour will benefit Habitat for Humanity's home building in many ways. For starters, artists on the tour will collectively donate $1 to Habitat for Humanity for each ticket sold during the tour. In addition, funds raised from ticket auctions, special merchandise items and event packages will be designated to fund Habitat for Humanity in each tour city. The bands plan to pick up hammers and lend a hand at various Habitat for Humanity build sites along the tour and to invite some current and future homeowners to attend the show as their guests. We are thrilled to have this concert, filled with talented acts, at the BEC and we look forward to working with our friends at Live Nation again," said Gene Felling, Executive Vice President of Broomfield Sports and Entertainment and General Manager of Broomfield Event Center.
