MIAMI – Carnival Cruise Line has announced its initial
2016 Carnival LIVE lineup with popular acts Journey, Trace Adkins,
Gladys Knight, and KC & The Sunshine Band entertaining guests on 11
different ships.
Bringing
the best in live music to the seas, Carnival LIVE is a one-of-a-kind
entertainment experience that provides guests an opportunity to enjoy
captivating performances by major artists at a tremendous value.
Performances are held in the ships’ main theaters – ranging in guest
capacity from 900 to 1,300 – meaning there’s never a bad seat in the
house.
Carnival
LIVE performances will be offered on cruises departing from eight U.S.
homeports with concerts taking place while vessels are docked in
Cozumel, Nassau and St. Thomas.
The
2016 Carnival Live Concert Series kicks off with three performances by
legendary singer Gladys Knight who will perform while Carnival Liberty,
Carnival Valor and Carnival Splendor are docked in St. Thomas Feb. 1-3,
respectively. Knight will showcase songs from her incredible musical
career that began in Motown and then crossed over to pop music with her
Grammy Award-winning number one hit “Midnight Train to Georgia.”
Fans
are sure to “get down tonight” as they enjoy three high-energy shows in
Cozumel by KC & The Sunshine Band, who rose to fame in the 1970s
with four consecutive number one singles. Led by charismatic front man
Harry Casey – better known as KC – the concerts will take place in
Cozumel March 22-24 aboard Carnival Paradise, Carnival Fantasy and
Carnival Breeze.
Diamond-certified
album holder JOURNEY returns to Carnival LIVE for a second consecutive
year with back-to-back shows in Nassau aboard Carnival Pride May 5 and
Carnival Victory May 6. The band has sold 80 million albums worldwide
and has earned 19 Top 40 singles and 25 gold, platinum and
multi-platinum albums since its formation in 1973 in San Francisco. The
prestigious "Legend of Live Award" was presented to JOURNEY at the 2011
Billboard Touring Awards to honor the band's contributions to live
music.
Fresh
from his appearance at Carnival’s Ultimate Cowboys Fan Fest last month,
Trace Adkins returns to Carnival LIVE again this year with three
concerts in Nassau aboard Carnival Freedom July 6, Carnival Dream July 7
and Carnival Conquest July 8. Adkins’ trademark baritone has powered
many hit songs to the top of the charts, with the Grammy-nominated
member of the Grand Ole Opry selling more than 10 million records and 20
singles on the Billboard country charts.
Carnival
LIVE tickets for 2016 range from $40 to $75 for general admission,
significantly less than land-based venues. VIP tickets are available
for $150 to $250 and offer seating in the first four rows, a photo
opportunity with the artist and a commemorative concert pass.
