The album was penned and recorded on the north coast during the Covid-19 pandemic and has been described by the couple as their “love letter to Northern Ireland”. The tour will then take the hymn-writing duo to the Star Theatre in Singapore followed by the Sydney Opera House in Australia.
Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased via Ticketmaster or directly from the SSE Arena website.
Speaking ahead of the Sing! World Tour, Keith Getty OBE, said: “It is always a tremendous honour to play in front of any audience, but there is something special about performing in front of a home crowd, especially following our GRAMMY nomination for an album dedicated to our home.
