HollyGroove Swinging Band Brings Jazzy Vibes to Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Disney’s Hollywood Studios has a brand-new beat, and it’s coming from the HollyGroove Swinging Band! This lively quartet made their debut on September 28, 2025, and they’re already turning heads (and tapping toes) on Hollywood Boulevard.

The four-member group features trumpet, trombone, drums, and tuba, delivering jazzy renditions of Disney classics that give the park’s streets a whole new rhythm. Most often, you’ll find them near the Chinese Theater, though they sometimes march their way down Hollywood Boulevard, instruments blaring, turning the park into a mini New Orleans–style street party.
HollyGroove Swinging’s sets aren’t on the My Disney Experience app just yet, so catching them feels like a bit of Disney serendipity. Guests can ask a nearby Cast Member for their daily schedule, but part of the fun is stumbling upon the swinging sounds unexpectedly. During one of their early performances, Chip and Dale popped by to groove with the band, proving this act is already a hit with characters and crowds alike.

Though the group isn’t a Disney-produced act (they’re brought in by an outside entertainment company), employees have confirmed that HollyGroove Swinging is expected to be a permanent offering through at least the end of 2025. Better yet, the addition is part of a larger push to bring more live entertainment to Hollywood Studios, so fans can look forward to even more magic in the months ahead.
