|PIC1|Britain's most popular and pioneering worship/rock band Delirious? will return to the United States on March 23 for a series of gigs supporting its newest release, The Mission Bell.

Fifteen dates are scheduled initially from California to Virginia including a Luis Palau festival in Orlando, Florida (April 2), plus a string of shows with fellow international worship rockers Tree63 (April 4-13). Delirious? also plays New York City's Nokia Theater on May 14 with Jeremy Camp and will be back in the U.S. this summer for a set of major outdoor music festival appearances.

Their most recent album The Mission Bell released in December 2005, is perhaps the British quintet's most dynamic project yet with special appearances from hip-hop's tobyMac, Irish singer Moya Brennan (Clannad), and Jars of Clay guitarist Steve Mason.

Delirious? is best known for its involvement in launching the modern worship music movement with signature praise songs like "I Could Sing Of Your Love Forever" and "Did You Feel The Mountains Tremble?" Beyond those favorites, the band has consistently put forth some of the most well-received faith-based rock albums of the past few years, earning comparisons to U2 and Radiohead among others.

In recent news, the band reached out to more than 1.2 million people in India, playing songs from its widely acclaimed new album, The Mission Bell. Together with dynamic preacher Joyce Meyer they participated in the four-day gathering where hundreds of thousands made commitments to faith in Jesus Christ.
