Third Day
Chaifetz Arena — Saint Louis, MO

Third Day emerged from the Georgia rock scene in the mid-90s and became one of the most consistent forces in Christian rock for two decades. The band built their reputation on stadium-sized anthems that worked equally well in arenas and churches, trading in heavy guitars and genuine melodic hooks rather than sappy sentiment. Songs like Wire and Thrive demonstrated their ability to write songs that felt urgent without being preachy. They won Grammys, played major festivals, and maintained a devoted following through constant touring and nine studio albums. What set them apart was their refusal to soften their rock credentials for the Christian market—they were a rock band first, one that happened to sing about faith. By the early 2010s they'd become something of an institution, the kind of band people grew up with and kept coming back to. They went on indefinite hiatus in 2018 after nearly 25 years of recording and touring.

Third Day shows were marathon events with true believers in the crowd who knew every word. The band delivered with professional precision and obvious stamina, pulling from a deep catalog. Sing-alongs were genuine, not forced. Energy rarely dipped.

Third Day rolled through Six Flags St. Louis in August 2012, working through a setlist that balanced their bigger moments with deeper cuts. They opened with "Otherside" and spent the afternoon moving between the reflective ("Your Love is Like a River," "You Are So Good to Me") and the more uptempo ("I Got a Feeling," "Make Your Move"). The band closed out with "Creed," which felt appropriate for a group that had spent years building a devoted following in the Christian rock space. It was the kind of show where the people who'd been with them since the early 2000s got their rewards buried in the middle of the setlist.

St. Louis has always had a soft spot for rock acts with conviction and staying power. The city's music DNA runs through blues and hip-hop, but it's also welcomed bands that lean into earnestness and faith-based messaging. Third Day fit that lineage—they weren't trying to be cool, just solid and intentional, which resonated with the Midwest sensibility that values substance over trend.

Base yourself in the Central West End, where the tree-lined streets and converted lofts give the neighborhood a genuinely livable vibe. Hit Broadway Oyster Bar for something with actual character, or Park Avenue Coffee if you need to ease in. Spend an afternoon at the City Museum—it's genuinely weird and worth your time, not a tourist trap. The Pulitzer Arts Foundation is also worth an hour if contemporary art is your thing. St. Louis takes itself less seriously than most cities, which makes it easy to move around and find decent food without overthinking it.
