Across the Pond: Legends of the UK Debuting in June 2026

[Lord Robert]

Kevin has confirmed during Member's Town Hall that "American Jukebox: Summer Remix" has come to an end and is being replaced by an all-new show in June 2026 at the Globe. The new show is called "Across the Pond: Legends of the UK", which implies that not only British music will make a comeback, but possibly music from Scotland and Northern Ireland might be added. I'm actually kind of intrigued by this honestly.

Nice to hear the focus shifting back to British music. Having an American-themed show in the Globe always irked me as such an obvious thematic conflict.

Agreed, even though I thought it was a pretty solid show, the out of place theme was the biggest problem with it.

so, welcome back, british music

 

[Mwe BGW]

Im so ready for this again.

I just wish they would confine the modern British music to the show. It irks me hearing it in the hamlet instead of the traditional music.

 

[Lord Robert]

My biggest hope for this show is that the park took the lessons they learned from both "London Rocks" and "Britmania" and apply it to this new show.

 

[Whovian757]

is this what the new summer show is?

 

[Zachary]

"All New" suggests yes, that they're talking about Across the Pond, not the return of Kinetix.

 

[Lord Robert]

Yep, "Kinetix: A New Generation" is technically an old show being revived with new elements to it. Across the Pond is an entirely brand-new show made from the ground up.

Except for the same cut out facade up at the top of the stage, I assume. Hopefully they finally replace that with something new. It has been there for every show for quite a while now.

I agreed, I hope they fix that blender

Yes, but then the odds of Scrooge/Monster Stomp returning are much slimmer. Scrooge is such a goated show that I'd hate to see it go away because of a facade change.

It was originally installed for Scrooge - 12 years ago - and has been there for every show since. I love Scrooge, but they are being lazy and un-creative continuing to reuse that same set piece for every show. They need to at least take it down for other shows and put it back up for Scrooge. Heck, they could even cover it with something else just so there's a different look.

It was not designed for Scrooge. It was installed originally for London Rocks and reused when they created Scrooge.
I agree that they should redo it though, it doesn't look good

Oh yeah, that's right. Thanks for setting that straight.

 

[harry580]

or you know what would been better when just a show that used the London rocks stage that used for scoorges no more?

SCOORGE'S LONDON ROCKS!

I will say, if this will be supervised by the same talented crew that worked on both "We Are Oktoberfest" and "Skeletones in the Closet"; I think my hopes for "Across the Pond" will skyrocket.
