Christian musical festival In His Honour will be held in Cambridge tomorrow, with up to 1800 teenagers and 20-somethings expected to attend.

The eight-hour festival features eight groups on two stages, including Hamilton band Arms Reach.

Organising committee member Gemma Waterhouse said the festival, now in its third year, would showcase a mix of genres.

"We started to plan this year's show back in January and spent a lot of time visiting churches to promote the event. This year's acts include acoustic musicians, punk-rock bands and old-school cover bands. With all the acts, it's about celebrating music, creativity and glorifying God."

Ms Waterhouse said the event's popularity had organisers considering touring the festival next year.

"Taking the festival on the road will give more people a chance to see it and will give us a point of difference to (Christian music festival) Parachute, which is held at one location."

  In His Honour is at the Raleigh St Christian Centre, Raleigh St, Cambridge, from 4pm to midnight. Tickets cost $7 from the CD & DVD Store, Victoria St, Cambridge. Door sales are $10.
