MIAMI, April 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Crank it up
to 11, music fans! Today, Carnival Cruise Line unveiled the roster
of artists for its upcoming Carnival LIVE concert series, adding
The Band Perry, BOSTON,
Lionel Richie and Heart to the
diverse and talented lineup of musical acts set to perform on board
the "Fun Ships" this summer and fall.
The shows complement the highly anticipated spring series which
kicked off last month and includes performances by Journey, Rascal
Flatts, Little Big Town, Smokey
Robinson and Styx.
Bringing the best of musical entertainment to the seas, Carnival
LIVE is a one-of-a-kind entertainment option that provides guests
an opportunity to experience captivating concerts by major musical
artists at a tremendous value. Concerts are held in the ships'
intimate main theaters – ranging in guest capacity from 900 to
1,300 – meaning there's never a bad seat in the
house.
Carnival LIVE concerts are performed on Carnival vessels while
they are docked in one of three ports of call: Cozumel,
Nassau and St. Thomas.
"We're thrilled to build upon the tremendous success of Carnival
LIVE with concerts this summer and fall by The Band Perry,
BOSTON, Lionel Richie and Heart – four incredibly
talented acts that will provide our guests with an extraordinary
entertainment experience," said Bernie
Dillon, director of Carnival LIVE.
The Band Perry will perform July 28-29-30 on Carnival
Sensation, Carnival Fascination and Carnival Magic, respectively,
while those ships are docked in Nassau. During these shows, guests can enjoy
up-close-and-personal performances by this award-winning trio who
recently won Best Country Duo/Group Performance for Gentle on My
Mind at the 57th Grammy Awards.
Fans will get "more than a feeling" as they enjoy four shows
this summer by rock superstars BOSTON which has sold more than 31 million
records worldwide, including 17 million copies of their self-titled
debut. BOSTON brings their
high-energy performances to four Carnival ships in Nassau – Carnival Sunshine, Carnival Fantasy,
Carnival Sensation and Carnival Ecstasy – Aug. 19-22.
Multiple Grammy and Oscar award-winning singer Lionel Richie will have audiences "dancing
on the ceiling" on Carnival Freedom Oct.
14 and Carnival Pride Oct. 15
while those ships are docked in Nassau. One of the most
popular recording artists of all time, Richie has sold 100 million
albums worldwide and is only one of two songwriters in history to
have a number one record for nine consecutive years.
Rounding out the series is Heart, who were inducted into
the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2013 and have sold more than 35
million records during their accomplished musical career that spans
more than 35 years. Guests can enjoy three shipboard
performances in Cozumel by these rock legends: Oct. 20 aboard
Carnival Paradise, Oct. 21 aboard
Carnival Ecstasy and Oct. 22 aboard
Carnival Breeze.
Carnival LIVE tickets for 2015 range from $35 to $75 for general admission, significantly
less than land-based venues. VIP tickets are available for
$125 to $250 and offer seating in the
