'Cake By The Ocean'—literally. Multi-platinum selling band DNCE performs in the AquaTheater
Multi-platinum selling band DNCE performed for Royal Caribbean International's 'Ultimate Friendsgiving' aboard the new Harmony of the Seas.

As part of the festivities, DNCE frontman Joe Jonas and bandmates including bassist and keyboardist Cole Whittle, guitarist JinJoo and drummer Jack Lawless treated a ship filled with their newest friends to a sunset concert with songs such as 'Pay My Rent,' 'Toothbrush' and 'Body Moves' from their self-titled debut album DNCE, available Nov. 18. The band performed in the open-air AquaTheater.

Band members also tested their mettle on the Ultimate Abyss, a 10-story tall slide, and on a zip line suspended nine decks high. They sipped cocktails at Bionic Bar prepared by two robot bartenders named Mix and Mingle. They also surprised fans at a Friendsgiving fête, complete with its own massive cake by the ocean, and took a ride on a hand-carved carousel in the ship’s Boardwalk.

Winners of the 'Best New Artist' award at this year's MTV Video Music Awards and 'Best PUSH Artist' at the 2016 MTV European Music Awards, DNCE first introduced themselves to audiences worldwide with the release of their debut single 'Cake By The Ocean,' their now certified triple-platinum breakout smash that made them one of the year's most buzz-worthy acts.
