  1. It would be great to see Apologetix (that Christian parody band)there this year.

  2. Hey,
    I was super excited this year because This Beautiful Republic was set to play. Did they drop out because of the issues with no longer having a singer? They said that they would find a replacement and continue touring. Or was there a conflict with This Beautiful republic so they could no longer make it?
    Thanks
    Briana Phillips

  3. Briana,

    We are going to keep This Beautiful Republic in our line-up. The schedule you see here did not have TBR on it because we were finalizing the band’s contract. So don’t worry, you will be rocking and screaming your lungs out to This Beautiful Republic!

  4. super excited to see skillet again and i am excited to see family force five but maybe we should get fireflight

  5. @collin, Fireflight was already booked! Plus they’ve been with us the last two years. Hopefully they’ll leave AgapeFest weekend open for us next year.

  6. I would love to see Tyree Morris and Hearts of Worship. I’m hoping you can check them out and get them on any stage!

  7. Its looking like a good lineup so far but i think it would be cool to see Hawk Nelson again this year

  8. awesomeness! glad to see paper route on there. wish switchfoot and seeing skies and maybe seabird on there though.

  9. is there anyway u can get some metal bands for second stage. kinda bummed u didnt get any for main stage.:(u guys said u would look into it. its like the only genre u guys never tackle. i wont mosh i promise! :(

  10. Andrew,

    We do have I Am Terrified booked to play Main Stage on Saturday right after Random Hero. I am sorry the line-up is such a bummer for you.

  11. DUDE!!! I AM TERRIFIED IS AWESOME. IM TOTALLY STOKED NOW DUDES. THANK YOU SO MUCH THIS MAKES AGAPE THE BEST YEAR EVA

  12. Would love to see Kutless and Hawk Nelson! Just doesnt seem like Agape without Hawk Nelson!!!!

  13. Jessica,

    Hawk Nelson is great, but we felt that we should give them a break for a year. I hope that you will enjoy Sanctus Real, David Crowder Band, Remedy Drive, Run Kid Run, Paper Route, Family Force 5, and Skillet.

  14. So stoked to hear about iamterrified – and that there will be no HN.

  15. A great one to have in this festival is a Christian Metalcore band I saw in Evansville, IN. They are awesome, God loving guys who are committed to their music ministry like none I’ve seen before. They are called Empty Lies the Tomb and they have a great sound! They are from southern Indiana and play almost every weekend around the tri-state area. You can find them and listen to them at MySpace.com/emptyliesthetomb
    Check them out!

  16. how bout some bands like all that remains, demon hunter, underoath, and killswitch engage in the line up.

  17. Omg!!!! I am so excited that ff5 is coming!!! They are my favorite! Plus skillet and the dcb always have a great live show! I hart ou run kid run! I am just pumped why does it have to be so far away?!

  18. (Emty Lies The Tomb)These;s Guys Rock And The Spirit Moves Please Get Them myspace.com/emtyliesthetomb
    The New Shirt IsSuper Cool

  19. 3 Bands you need to book:
    House of Heroes (It’s just not Agape without ‘em)
    Edison Glass (I honestly don’t know if they are touring anymore but it’s worth it to find out. AMAZING band that would be perfect for 2nd Stage)
    Seabird (Just because they are awesome!)

  20. i agree with jen im totally happy with i am terrified and no hawk nelson

  21. I really wanted Disciple again this year! They were the BEST last year!

  22. I agree with TR Disciple’s whole Southern Hospitality album was excellent! Great band!

  23. seventh day slumber needs to play! its been 9 years! they need to come back to the wonderful southern il!!!

  24. YES! What a great lineup!! It’s gonna be so awesome!

  25. Yes Apologetix is cool. However did you know Petra is reuniting for some limited shows this year. Greg volz & John Schlitt. Please bring them to Gville!

  26. You all should try to book “Hope For The Dying”, they are signed to First Strike and are local to Southern Illinois, it’s only a couple hour drive for them, I bet they’d be stoked to play Agape!

  27. so jon what type of band is hope for the dying?

  28. Hawk Nelson needs to come!!!! they are the best.

  29. lesley hawk nelson aint coming this year theyre taking a break from them. theyve only had them the last 700 years

  30. We can only book so many bands each year with our budget. We would love to work with every band every year but we just have to keep a fresh rotation going in order to keep the festival growing and thriving. Most all of your favorites will be back through within the next festival or two! Don’t worry!

  31. TobyMac?

  32. Will Relient K be coming back sometime? I mean, I totally understand that this year is (most likely) out of the question, but I was wondering if they would be back?

    And what about Eleventyseven???

  33. Benton, I too would LOVE to see House of Heroes return

  34. Hey, you guys should get Owen Pye & the Sunday School for the Coffeehouse.

  37. Also (if you guys don’t mind a little controversey), I would absolutely love to see Derek Webb on the second stage!

  38. I think it’s going to be an awesome time. This will be our third year and always been blessed. I thank God for you all and all that you pour into this ministry. For what it’s worth and you already know you can’t make’m all happy , but are group is always pleased once again thanks and God Bless ur bro in Indiana
