The Protest and Relent Tour at the Junction Center

The Protest and Relent 2026 Tour

Friday, August 14 at 7:00 pm

Landis Hall at The Junction Center, Manheim

THE PROTEST is joining forces with RELENT for a special, limited-stop tour! Don't miss these two powerfully uplifting hard rock shows!

The Protest

Brothers Josh and Jarob Bramlett met guitarists Adam Sadler and TJ Colwell while they were in high school, in small communities about an hour outside of Indianapolis. Josh & Jarob caught the Rock N' Roll fever after hearing KISS "Alive" when they were in middle school: it inspired Josh to begin learning how to play guitar and sing, and Jarob grabbed the sticks and kept time on the drums. After hearing "Detroit Rock City" Adam knew that he wanted to learn how to play guitar and followed that dream all the way to Los Angeles, where he studied at Musicians Institute. TJ was inspired by Def Leppard's two-pronged guitar attack and taught himself how to play, starting at the age of 13. They came together as The Protest in 2009 and released their first album "Game Changer" in 2012, which they supported with their first national tour. The band released their 2nd album, "Great Lengths" in 2014 and has been staying busy by playing 150 dates a year across the US. The Protest will stick around Lancaster with their spring 2026 tour stop with Skillet before returning in the summer.

Front man Josh Bramlett says: "Just because the music is heavy doesn't mean it can't uplift people and encourage them. We have a desire to serve others and reach people around the world. We want fans leaving our shows feeling different – and better - than when they came in".

Since its inception, The Protest has recorded three full-length albums and 2 EPs & has had multiple singles on the Billboard National Christian Rock Charts. And their two anthem singles, "What Else You Got" and "Noise Revolution" are sure to be used as rallying theme songs for college and professional sports in the near future. The Protest's fun and Positive energy is abundant in the band's live shows. Their fourth full-length album is due in 2026!

Relent

Formed by Miggy Sanchez (Ill Niño) in 2016, Relent's blend of hard rock and nu-metal creates a fresh sound that meets the emotional weight of their lyrics. As of their recent release of “Heavy”, they have been predicted to be one of the biggest bands to come out of Texas's music scene. The band says Relent is not just a band but a movement. Their passion can only be explained through the intensity of their lyrics and live performances. They bring elements of Hip-Hop and Rap to Nu-Metal style. Between their high energy performance and blended sound, they've created something niche and signature in the Hard Rock genre!

Relent carries heart in their lyrics that bring listeners hope out of stories of trauma and tribulation. Their songs are a journey that lands with encouragement through powerful testimony and praise. Relent's Album - Heavy is full of anthems you can lean on, rock with, relate to, and emote through. The band’s determination to walk through the heavy with their listeners and face real pain with praise is what sets this album above many of its contemporaries. Relent’s songs vulnerably take on real loss, mental health, anger, and power struggles in a gripping and resilient way. The Band's willingness to walk through the hard reflects the faithfulness and nearness of the God they praise.
