MIAMI, Aug. 3, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Carnival Cruise
Line has announced its initial 2017 Carnival LIVE lineup featuring
country music stars Tim McGraw and
Little Big Town along with comedians Jay
Leno and Jeff Foxworthy who
will perform on seven different ships departing from five
convenient U.S. homeports.
Carnival LIVE is a one-of-a-kind entertainment experience that
brings the best in live music and comedy to the seas, providing
guests an opportunity to enjoy captivating performances by top
artists in a unique and memorable setting where there's never a bad
seat in the house. Performances are held in the ships' main
show lounges which range in capacity from 900 to 1,300 – giving
shows a more intimate and personal feel.
Three-time Grammy Award winner Tim
McGraw will bring his signature brand of country music to
two Carnival ships with show-stopping performances aboard Carnival
Breeze March 2, and Carnival Valor
March 3, while the ships are docked
in Nassau, The
Bahamas. In addition to 21 number one singles, 11 of
McGraw's albums have debuted at number one on the Billboard country
album chart.
Platinum recording artist Little Big Town will have audiences
singing along and dancing in the aisles with shows in Nassau aboard Carnival Dream May 11, and Carnival Valor May 12. The
recipients of nine Country Music Association awards, the
chart-topping band has earned a loyal following for their unique
mix of harmonies and incredible musical talents.
One of the most successful comedians in the country,
Jeff Foxworthy is the largest
selling comedy recording artist in history, a multiple Grammy Award
nominee and author of 11 books. Famous for his "you might be
a redneck if…" jokes, his comedy explores everyday family
interactions and human nature. Foxworthy will perform
two shows – one aboard Carnival Freedom June
21, and another aboard Carnival Ecstasy June 22, while the ships are docked in
Nassau.
A member of the Television Hall of Fame and a longtime host of
NBC's Tonight Show, Jay Leno will
entertain guests with his observational humor with a pair of
hilarious performances in Cozumel aboard the Carnival Victory
May 3, and Carnival's newest ship the
Carnival Vista May 4. Leno plays upwards of 200 shows a year
and currently hosts "Jay Leno's
Garage" on the CNBC network.
Carnival LIVE tickets for Tim
McGraw, Little Big Town, Jeff
