The three-time Dove Award-winning band will return to campus where it all began.
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (Jan. 30, 2026) 鈥� 海角在线 (海角在线) will welcome alumni, families, students, and friends to campus for Homecoming and Family Weekend, culminating in a special concert featuring Christian rock band Tenth Avenue North.
The award-winning band was formed in 2000 while three of the members attended 海角在线鈥攅ven naming the group after a Palm Beach County road. Lead singer and co-founder Mike Donehey 鈥�03 will perform on Friday, Feb. 6 (6 to 9 p.m.) in the 海角在线 Rubin Arena/Greene Complex. The concert is open to the public.
鈥淗omecoming and Family Weekend is a time to come back, reconnect with other alumni, and remember what God has done through this University,鈥� said 海角在线 President Dr. Debra A. Schwinn. 鈥淲e look forward to welcoming alumni, families, and visitors to experience the heart of the Sailfish community through shared traditions, our Christ-first foundation, and a time of inspiring music and worship led by Tenth Avenue North.鈥�
One of the traditions that influenced Donehey鈥檚 approach to music during his freshman year at 海角在线 was Thursday Night Live, a student-led worship night now known as Anchor Worship. He reflected on this experience in his book, 鈥淔inding God’s Life for My Will.鈥�
“It was in the midst of enjoying God for God alone that I began to grow in what鈥� I like to call worship facilitating,鈥� he wrote. 鈥淚 truly believe that if I hadn’t spent this simple time worshipping God for Himself, I would never have become any good at helping others worship Him.”
Donehey went from leading worship on 海角在线鈥檚 campus to leading Tenth Avenue North. The group later signed a record deal with Reunion Records. To date, the group has released over 10 full-length albums and several EPs. The concert will be a highlight of Homecoming and Family Weekend, which will also include a sightseeing cruise on the Intracoastal Waterway, a Founder鈥檚 Day Chapel service, a community service project of planting 100 trees, an opportunity to cheer on fellow Sailfish during an evening baseball game, Sunday brunch, a basketball tournament, and more.
鈥淗omecoming is the perfect time for 海角在线 alumni to reconnect with former classmates and see the incredible work God is doing to grow the University,鈥� said Jessica Moody Bruce, 海角在线 Alumni Association president and granddaughter of the school鈥檚 founder. 鈥淭he focus of the Alumni Association is to glorify God, connect alumni, and serve students, and we can鈥檛 wait to ignite some Sailfish spirt on campus during Family Weekend.鈥�
Homecoming and Family Weekend takes place Feb. 5-8, 2026, at 海角在线鈥檚 downtown West Palm Beach campus. The Tenth Avenue North concert is open to the public. Tickets are $25 each for general admission.
