Yo Gabba Gabba! Live!: There's A Party In My City! CLOSED

Thank you to S2BN Entertainment, Wildbrain Entertainment, and Michelle Sisco P.R. for participating in the Bloggy Birthday Blowout Event on Goodie Goodie Gumdrops!

My son's favorite show in the whole wide world is Yo Gabba Gabba. And who am I kidding...I must confess that I love it too! The music is great. The dancing is fun. The lessons are valuable. And the colorful characters are all so lovable. It's the one children's show that I never get tired of.

And I'm thrilled to announce that DJ Lance is bringing his boombox our way!

Fresh off their sold-out tour debut and making an acclaimed appearance at Coachella music festival, the Yo Gabba Gabba gang is heading out on a smash 60-city tour across North America. DJ Lance Rock and Friends will be making stops at all the top theaters, arenas and amphitheaters starting August 27 in Bethel, NY and ending December 12 in Dallas, TX. The state-of-the-art production features the music, singing, dancing and animation we've all come to know and love. A true interactive experience, the show offers audience members of all ages the opportunity to witness their favorite characters come to life. Joining the characters on stage will be hip-hop legend Biz Markie for his "Biz's Beat of the Day" segment. Super-secret special guests in each city will also join the party on stage for the Super Music Friends Show and Dancey Dance segments.
