The Zombies, fellow Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees of the Moody Blues, will also star in the 2024 line-up, as they did on this year’s On The Blue Cruise, and lead singer Colin Blunstone will perform his own show.
Next year’s bill also includes Alan Parsons, Starship featuring Mickey Thomas, the Little River Band, Al Stewart, Uriah Heep, Vanilla Fudge, Glenn Hughes (performing Deep Purple Live), Rare Earth, John Ford Coley, Leonid and Friends (celebrating the music of Chicago), Ricky Nelson Remembered (featuring Matthew and Gunnar Nelson), the Weeklings ‒ the music and muse of The Beatles, the Skatalites, Randy Hansen, the Young Dubliners, Tom Toomey, the Empty Pockets, Mellow Yellow, Fernando Perdomo’s Yacht Club, Marbin, Bruce Sudano, and Dueling Pianos, with more names to be announced.
The cruise will feature such opportunities and activities as artist photo experiences, themed nights, the Mellow Yellow Dance Party, and Painting with Rock Stars.
