Lauren Daigle Teams with KultureCity to Establish 17 "Sensory Rooms" in Daigle's "Kaleidoscope Tour" Venues, Including INTRUST Bank Arena
Wichita, Kansas – 2x GRAMMY® Award winner and multi-platinum selling artist Lauren Daigle announced her continued partnership with KultureCity to create and renovate seventeen “sensory rooms” at venue stops on her The Kaleidoscope Tour, including fifteen new rooms with one being at INTRUST Bank Arena. The brand-new Sensory Room at INTRUST Bank Arena is located in the Arena's South Lobby, directly inside Entrance B.
Specially designed by medical professionals, the renovated or refurbished spaces provide dedicated environments for individuals in need of a quieter and more secure environment from which to enjoy concert (and sporting) events. Each sensory room will be outfitted with bean bags from Yogibo, visual light panels by Nanoleaf, activity panels, Sparkle Interactive Light by NunoErin, bubble walls, and a custom tactile artwork created by an autistic artist. In addition, sensory bags will be available at all tour stops for those who might need them. More information about the rooms can be found HERE.
“The amazing thing about playing live is that feeling I get when I’m looking out from the stage seeing people connect to the music – and to each other,” shares Daigle. “These sensory rooms we’re creating with KultureCity, are all about giving everyone that experience. For me, that’s what touring is all about.”
Daigle’s partnership with KultureCity began in 2021, when together they created the The Lauren Daigle Sensory Room at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena. The room was sponsored by Daigle’s own The Price Fund, as are all of the rooms being created for this effort. Since 2019, KultureCity has created over 1,900 sensory-inclusive venues in seven countries and has been recognized nationwide for using its resources to revolutionize and effect change in the community for those with sensory needs, not just those with autism.

"Creating a 'Raving Guest Experience' is one of INTRUST Bank Arena's Core Values that our entire team strives to achieve for all guests that walk through our doors," commented Tyler Slanovec, Assistant General Manager at INTRUST Bank Arena. "We are proud to be a Certified Sensory Inclusive Venue and are grateful for the partnership with KultureCity and Lauren Daigle in creating a dedicated Sensory Room to provide a quieter and more secure environment for guests with sensory needs."
“Music is something that we associate with and to know that Lauren and her team are going the extra mile to ensure that everyone, no matter their ability, is included at a concert is truly amazing,” says Uma Srivastava, Executive Director, KultureCity. “We’re honored to partner with Lauren to provide a truly inclusive experience for all fans and guests!”
On September 8th, Daigle released the remainder of her self-titled album via Atlantic Records, in partnership with Centricity Music. Led by GRAMMY®-winning producer Mike Elizondo (Twenty One Pilots, Mary J. Blige, Fiona Apple, Carrie Underwood), Lauren Daigle features co-writes with award-winning songwriters, including Natalie Hemby, Amy Wadge, Shane McAnally, Jason Ingram, Lori McKenna, and Jon Greene. The album marks a new creative chapter for the Louisiana-born artist.
Since the release of her GRAMMY® Award-winning, platinum-certified 2018 album Look Up Child – which includes the breakthrough, newly-6x platinum-certified hit single “You Say” – Daigle has been a mainstay on the Billboard charts. When Look Up Child debuted at No. 3 on the Top 200 Albums chart, Daigle became the first female artist in history to simultaneously hit the Top 10 on both Billboard’s Pop and Christian Album charts. She went on to break another record when the LP reached 100 weeks at No. 1 on the Top Christian Albums chart, which is the greatest number of weeks that any artist has spent at the top of any individual album chart. Similarly, “You Say” is the longest-running No. 1 to appear on any weekly Billboard chart. Born in Lake Charles, Louisiana, Daigle is a 2x Grammy®, seven-time Billboard Music Award, four-time American Music Award, and ten-time GMA Dove Music Award winner.
