With boldly honest, hard-hitting lyrics, Casting Crowns is the first announcement of the 2010 Entertainment Series at the Nebraska State Fair. The band continues to challenge, strengthen and pour into the body of Christ, giving listeners a fresh, relevant perspective on loving God and loving people. Casting Crowns will perform at 8:00 p.m. on Thursday, September 2 at the Heartland Events Center. The show is free with a paid gate admission.

In an unprecedented, six-year span with nearly 4.5 million career album sales, a GRAMMY Award, an American Music Award, 23 Dove Awards and 8 chart-topping radio singles, Casting Crowns remains focused on discipleship through music. Living life with a kingdom focus, a reaching-out, loving-the-world-like-Jesus-does purpose – that’s the focus of the band’s fourth studio album titled Until The Whole World Hears. In an effort to connect others to the powerful theology of hymns, the album includes modern reinventions of songs Hall grew up with, including "Glorious Day (Living He Loved Me)" (from the hymn "One Day"), "Joyful, Joyful" and "Blessed Redeemer".

Casting Crowns will entertain and inspire during their performance, making it a perfect way to culminate the day at the 2010 Nebraska State Fair.

The 2010 Entertainment Series is presented by the Nebraska Lottery and sponsored by Bristol Windows. Additions to the 2010 Entertainment Series will be released soon.
