for KING + COUNTRY brings their holiday show 'A Drummer Boy Christmas' to the Benchmark International Arena.
for KING + COUNTRY play the Benchmark International Arena in Tampa on Sunday, November 29, 2026. The show starts at 7 PM.
If you're not familiar with the name, it's the stage name for brothers Joel and Luke Smallbone, a Nashville duo that's spent years building a pretty massive footprint. They've picked up four GRAMMY Awards, an American Music Award, a Billboard Music Award, 10 GMA Dove Awards, and 17 K-LOVE Fan Awards along the way, with 13 No. 1 hits and more than three billion career streams. Their discography includes the RIAA Gold-certified Burn the Ships and What Are We Waiting For?, their second Top 10 album on the Billboard 200, and a run of seven consecutive No. 1s including "God Only Knows," which they recorded with Jordin Sparks, Hillary Scott, Dolly Parton, and Timbaland.
This particular tour is tied to a specific project: The Drummer Boy. It's both an album and a holiday film released through Angel Studios, and the show follows that double release. The set pairs holiday standards like "O Come, O Come Emmanuel" and "Little Drummer Boy" with the duo's own original music, so you'll hear the familiar carols alongside their newer material. It's a holiday-themed program, and the timing—late November—puts it right at the start of the season.

Beyond the music, the Smallbones have stepped into film, too. Joel Smallbone's directorial debut, Unsung Hero (Lionsgate), won the GMA Dove Award for Feature Film of the Year. Between that and The Drummer Boy, they've been working as much on the screen as they have on the stage. The Tampa show is part of the tour supporting that album and film, and it's scheduled for 7 PM on Sunday, November 29, at the Benchmark International Arena.
