OCVTSGIRL Posted August 31, 2023 #1 Share Posted August 31, 2023 I'm asking for a friend...I really am. Trying to find out what band is going to be on the Anthem. My friend, her significant other and friends leave next Thursday and are hoping for a good band. If anyone has recently sailed or maybe is on Anthem now and can give me this information, that would be great. We have always been lucky and had good bands on all the ships we've sailed. Years ago on the Anthem it was the Royal Swedes who are amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mets123 Posted August 31, 2023 #2 Share Posted August 31, 2023 If you mean tribute bands in the music hall, they did away with them about six months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current house band are known as ‘The Ultimate Party Band UK’ and are onboard until October. Edited August 31, 2023 by Jumping Cruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Royal Swedes were amazing but when I saw them in a lounge in 2019 they asked for requests from those of us who came to see them.They did not know the 3 songs that I mentioned .These were not obscure songs.

cublet Posted September 1, 2023 #9 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Hello, A line from my student youth was "Don't ban the bomb, bomb the band". I hope the OP means leaving *FOR* the Anthem next Thursday (from home) and not leaving *ON* Anthem next Thursday as we will be in Geiranger Fjord and boarding would be interesting to watch. Regards, Cublet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tatka Posted September 1, 2023 #11 Share Posted September 1, 2023 I hope The Billboard Band (Cancun) returns even though we sailed with them twice in 2022 and 2023. They are so amazing and energetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know the new band are good… but bring back Wild Boyz !!! I'd like them to bring back "tribute" bands. We really enjoyed the one, LAvation (U2 Tribute) on Anthum on our Bermuda cruise several years ago. I wasn't a U2 fan and actually still aren't but LAvation was really good, talented band, they made it sound like they were in the studio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
