All-star line-up set
for Illumination 2011
Above: Jeremy Camp; Below: Hawk Nelson, Fireflight, Superchick
GREENVILLE – Mark your calendar now for Sept. 18. On that date the
Illumination Committee will be bringing its best line-up ever to the
Darke County Fairgrounds for Illumination: Light in the Darke 2011.
This year’s all-star line-up includes artists whose music has been
featured in television shows and hit movies. Headlining this year’s
festival of music will be Dove Award winner and Grammy Award nominee
Jeremy Camp. Joining him on stage will be Hawk Nelson, Fireflight and
Superchick. Also scheduled to appear are Chasen, Hyland, Manifest,
Kiros and Samestate.
Jeremy Camp has sold three million records and charted 19 No. 1 hits,
but his latest project brings him back to his first love. To get
himself out of the way, Camp, a rock artist who’s also an ordained
minister, makes an intentional return to worship on We Cry Out, his
latest project, just as he did for his second album, Carried Me. In
this familiar setting, he often steps back from self-written tunes,
choosing instead to celebrate and share the latest praise songs by
others that have been stirring his own spirit toward revival.
Hawk Nelson will be sure to have you pumping your fist, dancing and
celebrating when he takes the stage singing some of the songs off of
their fifth album. Crazy Love reveals the right combination of heads
and tails: a return to the early days of Hawk Nelson rock with an
ever-maturing look at life and the need for truth.
Superchick is living up to its name. Its first four albums have
combined for 700,000 copies sold, more than 70 film, television and
videogame song placements, and five No. 1 singles.
Returning to Illumination this year will be Dove Award and Grammy Award
nominated Fireflight. The past few years have been a whirlwind for the
group. Back when the Floridians launched their Flicker Records debut,
The Healing of Harms, in 2006, the versatile quintet rocked two No. 1
radio singles, toured relentlessly, and, best of all, discovered a
growing fanbase that reciprocated the band's passion.

through Sept. 17 for $20 for general admission and $25 for reserved box
seating. Tickets the day of the show are $25 for general admission and

Bookstore in Union City, Trinity Gifts and Books in Richmond, and Grace
Christian Bookstores in Piqua and Huber Heights.
