Lou... 3,118 Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Beginning Tuesday, May 3, a new four-piece band will replace the British Invasion at the United Kingdom pavilion at Epcot. Sets will be a chronological journey of British music with random fun facts about the songs and artists throughout the years. From the Beatles, to the music of Led Zeppelin and The Who.

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted June 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 From MousePlanet...The band performing at Epcot's United Kingdom pavilion is now known as "The British Revolution" instead of "The English Channel." Outside of Disney, the group is still known as "The British Airwaves."http://www.mouseplanet.com/9650/Walt_Disney_World_Resort_Update Quote Link to post Share on other sites
