LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. - Past Christian music "Artists of the Year" Third Day, mercyme and Chris Tomlin and 2010 "Artist of the Year" nominees Casting Crowns and Francesca Battistelli head a star-powered 15-act lineup set for Disney’s Night of Joy 2010 Sept. 10-11 when the long-running Christian music event makes its return to Magic Kingdom.

Twelve of the artists are nominated for a total of 33 Dove Awards this year. Winners will be announced April 21 at Nashville's famed Grand Ole Opry House.

* Day of Fire, which earned the Rock Album of the Year accolade in 2005
* Sidewalk Prophets, a pop/rock group nominated for two Doves in 2010, including New Artist of the Year
