If you’re looking to supercharge your Branson getaway with high-octane energy, unforgettable music, and a whole lot of attitude, Anthems of Rock is where it’s at. This powerhouse production lights up the stage at the iconic King’s Castle Theatre and delivers a tribute to rock legends that fans won't want to miss.
While Branson Show Tickets provides access to the show, the production itself is created in-house at King's Castle Theatre by director and producer Jaqui Lemmens, under the ownership and theatrical direction of David King.
Meet the Band: Tribute Talent With Big Energy
Anthems of Rock features a high-energy cast of singers, dancers, and impersonators who channel the charisma and sound of rock’s biggest icons. While the show does rely on backing tracks instead of a live band, the performers bring personality and passion to their roles. This tribute-style approach lets the audience relive the magic of artists like Freddie Mercury, Steven Tyler, and Mick Jagger, all under one roof.
Song Selection: Legends Live Again
Every anthem in the setlist is a megahit, carefully chosen to light up the crowd. Think: Queen, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Journey, Led Zeppelin, Bon Jovi, and Aerosmith. Confirmed tracks include "Bohemian Rhapsody," "Don't Stop Believin'," "Hotel California," and "Dream On"—songs that continue to define generations.
Whether you grew up on classic rock or discovered it through movies and playlists, you'll feel the surge of recognition from the very first note.
Stage Production: Lights, Sound, Impact
From the moment the curtain rises, you’re hit with a sensory experience designed to keep your eyes wide and your feet tapping. The lighting design is immersive and energizing. The LED screens add visual flair to each song, though some reviewers have noted occasional inconsistencies in the visual quality of the LED screen graphics. Set pieces are simple but functional, supporting the action without overshadowing it.
The audio experience is loud and clear, though mostly pre-recorded, as the show depends on backing tracks for instrumentation. This setup keeps the focus on vocals and dance rather than live musical improvisation.
Audience Experience: You Won’t Sit Still
What Anthems of Rock delivers best is energy. The show is a hit for visitors of all ages, and the music alone is enough to get guests dancing in their seats. One enthusiastic attendee wrote, “Phenomenal show with all your favorite rock songs! We were dancing in our seats!” Another echoed the vibe with, “High energy singers and dancers with great voices.”
Whether you're front row or in the back, you'll feel the nostalgia and drive of rock classics pumping through the theatre. For more options to plan your night, check out other shows and attractions in Branson to round out your entertainment lineup.
