Here are some bands you must watch at Disneyland’s Tomorrowland Terrace

Disneyland has been host to many guest music acts throughout the years. Many of those acts have went on to make it big, but all of them give credit to their success to their time performing in Anaheim.

Today, talented bands still frequent the Resort almost every day at the Tomorrowland Terrace (TLT). The iconic venue with the pop-up stage hosts a variety of bands for your viewing pleasure. With weather reminiscent of summer, it is the perfect time to head outdoors at night for some live music. While you could wait for a band you know to come to town or head to the nearest venue to catch a show, you could also head to Disneyland.

Here’s your guide to some TLT’s bands that are worth a listen this summer!

Tomasina

Tomasina, a crowd favorite, plays an eclectic mix of music from the 80s to now. Joining her in this high energy show are Robert Stevens (Background Vocals/Guitar), Pat Leon (Drums), Johnny Gomez (Lead Guitar), Mike Hill (Bass), and Patrick Copeland (Electric Piano).

You can expect to see different band members singing lead throughout the sets. The line-up also changes often. Recently, Tomasina performed in front of Sleeping Beauty’s castle on New Years’ Eve.

The Suffragettes

The Suffragettes is an all-female band with a changing line-up of Disneyland vocalists. You can catch women that play Alice, Pocahontas, Rapunzel, and other princesses singing at TLT in their down time. It’s a great place to hear the talent of Disneyland vocalists in a different setting.

80z Allstars

The 80z Allstars also attract a loyal following. The band plays 80s music.  So if you want to re-live the 80s or catch what you missed out on, you can see Nigel Naughty (vocals), Devo 2.0 (bass), Jamie Starr (guitar), and Karate Kid (drums) rocking TLT.

Like Tomasina, you can expect to hear Jamie Starr and Devo 2.0 to take center stage for a few songs. You definitely don’t want to miss Jamie Starr singing “Billie Jean” or Devo 2.0 rapping to “Ice Ice Baby.”
