John Mark McMillan Bids Farewell to Full-Time Touring After 20 Years
Christian music artist John Mark McMillan, celebrated for his poetic worship anthems and fearless genre-blending, has announced that his upcoming Fall 2025 tour will be his last full-scale concert series. In a moving Instagram post, McMillan explained that he is closing this chapter of his twenty-year music ministry to embrace a new season of creativity and purpose. “This will be my last tour. It’s time for me to enter a new phase in my life where music is no longer my full-time endeavor. I want to write books, pour into a new generation of creatives, and focus on local projects,” he shared with fans, who have long cherished his heartfelt artistry and ability to marry raw honesty with worship.
Though stepping away from the relentless demands of touring, McMillan reassured supporters that music will remain a part of his life. He acknowledged the tough financial realities of today’s music industry, where art often struggles to find sustainable support, yet emphasized that his decision was rooted in vision rather than defeat. McMillan promised to appear at select special events and collaborate with fellow artists in the future, while reflecting with gratitude: “It’s been a beautiful 20 years, and you guys have been the best part.” For his audience, this farewell tour is not just the end of an era but a celebration of two decades of music that reshaped the soundscape of modern worship.
