Which bands did Petra share stage with?

[p-freak]

In 1997 when I saw them on the Petra Praise 2 tour they had Tourniquet (acoustic) as a support act. But that was only for that show. Tourniquet was in country anyway, but the festival they were supposed to play got cancelled, so there were looking for a place to play.

Doesn't one of those CCM articles on jws.com mention somewhere that they opened up for the Beach Boys once?

Did some research myself. Apparently they also had Grammatrain and Johnny q public on the saltbox tour in 1996. Also I remember that Disciple and Blindside played before them on Christmas rock night in 2005 at the farewell tour. A little surprised that Blindside played before them, cause they were quite more popular in the crowd, but I guess the festival management wanted to pay their respect to petra and let them end the festival. It was very cool to see that Kevin young the singer from disciple was sitting besides the stage wearing a petra shirt at the petra concert. He was screaming along and looked very moved, like petra had played a big role in his life

I was there as well at the Christmas Rock Night 2005. Next day they had a show in the Netherlands, where I bought the drum sticks that Paul used at CRN. I think that's one of my coolest memorabilia. Back in 1999 when Petra was also at the CRN together with Disciple I overheard a conversation between the guy from Disciple and John after the show. He was also sharing with John how much Petra had meant to him.

Haha I was at the 1999 show as well We don't have THAT much christians concerts in Denmark, so it became a tradition among me and my friends to go to christmas rock night. Actually at the 1999 show, my father my brother and me went backstage to meet john schlitt, that was a very cool thing. The band was tired and didn't want to come out after the show, but my father kept asking if we could get backstage and finally we got audience back in mr. schlitts room

Wake Up Call: Lisa Bevill / Dakota Mo. Company / Petra

Forgot about that...opened for Beach Boys in 87' would have been a hard act for the beach boys to follow...

This might be one of the articles you mean Pieter...

They got rained out of Shout Fest when I went to see them in 2003(?), but Tait was on that tour, as well as one of those teen-pop groups the 11-year-old girls loved. Jump5, I think? It was a pretty bad deal all the way around. Changed the location so much, there were barely any people there, then they pushed Petra to the end, which meant most everyone left after Jump5 played, and then it started raining during Tait's performance, which was actually really cool, except the lightning came soon after, and the show was called off just before Petra was supposed to take the stage. Annnnywayyyy...

The Waiting opened for them on the Double Take tour in 2000, I think, but I can't remember who else was on stage that night.

Great find, Daniel! I don't recall if this is the specific article I meant, but it has the same information.

When I saw them on the Beat the System tour Randy Stonehill opened for them.

Same here in Sioux Falls, SD May 9, 1985

I saw Petra on their Wake-Up Call Tour when Jim Cooper was on keyboards in Peterborough Ontario Canada.
Lisa Bevill and Dakoda Motor Co. opened up.

Then I saw them in Toronto during the God Fixation days.
Tammy Trent and Guardian opened up.

I may have missed this, but did Carman ever open for Petra? They did do a song together, after all.

Off topic for one quick second here, but Petrabandca, I notice you have a Newfoundland flag as your avatar. You knew that John Schlitt was coming to NL right??
