Building on the massive success of the 2004 gig - when all 12,000 tickets sold out leaving 1,000 desperate, disappointed and wishing they'd sorted things out a little earlier - it is clear that 2005's extravaganza will take some beating. According to event organizer Billy Ritchie, listening to the punters is a key to improving things. Our sound system is being designed specifically to ensure clarity wherever you choose to stand and if you do happen to be at the back of our 12,000 crowd then our two large video screens will mean that you won't miss a thing. As ever the gospel message will be clear, on point and the perfect drawstring to a day of ultimate rides, ultimate entertainment and ultimate truth.

Delirious? will headline Xpression05, a four hour worship event at Portman Road football stadium, Ipswich, on June 26th 2005. Yfriday, thebandwithnoname, and Steve will also be leading times of worship with Andy Hawthorne of the Message Trust in Manchester hosting the evening. "A recent survey revealed that more than half of Britain's 18 to 30-year-olds have not attended a religious service outside the traditional rites of 'hatch, match and dispatch' since childhood, and worryingly more than one in 10 have never been to church," says Gavin Stone, Youth Adviser for the Diocese of St Edmundsbury & Ipswich. "We are addressing this by enabling young people to express and experience worship to God within the context of their own culture." In 2004, Delirious? toured the UK, North America and Europe but Xpression5 promises to be one of the band's biggest British audiences. Delirious? will be flying in from Europe especially for the event and for guitarist Stuart Garrard it's a chance to play in his home town stadium for the first time.
