Internationally recognized praise group Planet Shakers launches REVIVAL worldwide today (September 17) from Venture3Media (V3M). Available for pre-purchase / pre-save Now available on all major digital and streaming outlets, the album was recorded live at the REVIVAL conference held April 1-3 in Planetshakers Church in Melbourne, Australia, during a brief break in pandemic lockdowns.
With curfews set at 8:00 p.m., and with only trips to the grocery store and up to two hours of outdoor exercise allowed, a word of hope—of revival—came from Planetshakers Pastor Russell Evans.
“As the world faces one of its most difficult situations and the church globally faces restrictions in the free world that are surprising to say the least, God has declared on Planetshakers as a movement, ‘REVIVAL!’” exclaims worship leader and pastor Sam Evans. “He then opened a window of opportunity for us to come together as a church to hold the REVIVAL conference… It was raw, moving and powerful! In the midst of restrictions, God was not restricted. He was moving in healing power – restoring, renewing, reviving.
“After months and months of being oppressed, it was an incredible blessing to come together,” Pastor Sam continues. “The songs we were singing and the statements we were making were so opposite of what we were experiencing. We want to share this experience with the world in hopes of encouraging and empowering others to stand on God’s promise and believe in His ability to revive any situation with His mighty resurrection power.”
Capturing the pent-up, heartfelt roar of praise and worship that erupted during the conference in perhaps the rawest live recording Planetshakers have ever released, REVIVAL is a full-on production experience. The album not only features new worship leaders, but also introduces the Planetshakers worship team of Joth HuntSam Evans, Andy Harrison, Josh HamAimee Evans, Noah WalkerNathalie Ruiz, Chelsi Nikkerud, Rudy Nikkerud and more.
In conjunction with today’s album release, there is also a special Planetshakers Revival 7 Days devotional available now on YouVersion at https://www.bible.com/reading-plans/27632-revival.
The track listing for REVIVAL, produced and mixed by Hunt, is as follows:
01. I know you can
02. Path Truth Life
03. All my life
04. I am impressed
05. Back to life
06. Above the storm
07. Indeed free
08. I must praise
09. Run
10. In your presence

Next month, these same songs were also recorded by the band Planetshakers with Planetshakers Bible College students surrounding them on the Planetshakers Revival album, Live At Chapel, which will be released on October 15. More information about these accessible, unique and simplified versions of the songs will be shared online at Planetshakers.com.
Although Melbourne is back in lockdown with one of the world’s toughest restrictions despite relatively low COVID case numbers, Planetshakers is continuing its mission to “empower generations to win generations”. The ministry is seeing huge online streaming numbers with hundreds of thousands of people from around the world tuning in remotely to its worship services and resources.
“My passion for seeing others connect to God through worship has not changed… It is my greatest source of joy and continues to motivate and propel me forward,” shares Pastor Sam. “I want everyone everywhere to experience what I experience.”
