I'm surprised they are flying to the USA today and appearing in a service tomorrow.

Maybe they need the promo it will bring at the Church and bring in more ticket sales?!

Also flying West doesn’t give you as much jet lag I believe.

Looking good so far. Here they are on a bus out of JFK at around 2:30 AM Saturday morning. Nice to see Cory, Julian, and Dom back.

Brilliant. Thank you.


Bigs: Laurence T, Victor, Alex Menuet, Mathias, Daniel, Koji and Dominik.

Can’t see Thomas M, Morgan, Mitchel or Federico but they could just be out of shot.

Looks like Luke B-D and Ludwik might be absent.

Really hope there’ll be blogs and vlogs like there were for the Korean tour.

There is a Insta video which shows loads of the boys from the Libera US account.


I think Ben Bywater and Tadhg will be helping out behind the scenes because they are in Black shirts.


It’s nice to see some of the old boys are back for this tour.


ETA - Maybe Steven G is on this tour , it certainly looks like him to my eyes?

Ludwik is there.

Per a member of the congregation at tonight's service, the music is:

Ave Maris Stella
Veni Sanctus Spiritus
Ave Maria (Caccini)
Ave Verum
Anima Christe
Deep Peace

*gasp* WOW that's so much more than I would have expected for a Saturday evening service, or even a Sunday service. That's pretty wild actually, more of a mini-concert than a service. One of the reasons I wasn't going to go to this, aside from the non-trivial travel time, is that services are weird in terms of how much actual music you get to hear from the choir; this depends on the church and its musical tradition of course. I figured 1-2 songs with the choir alone and a few communal hymns where you can never hear the choir properly because some Tom or Harry next you feels the need to practice his bellowing baritone voice during the hymns Boy was I ever wrong!

Clearly, this was one that I should have tried to attend. Hindsight, 20-20 as always

At least tomorrow's service is livestreamed!

Hopefully these services will boost their ticket sales. I did not know about today’s livestream at all, though by chance I noticed it was on and caught a glimpse of it as it paused, asking for a request to join, which I sent - only to see the stream end moments later. At least I now know about tomorrow’s service in time

Where was it streamed Maarten? I looked earlier but saw nothing on their website or Facebook page.

Anime Christe wasn't sung in the end, don't know the reason but it was advertised to be sung.

The US Libera Instagram account did a live broadcast

The boys in Time Square, NYC.

Libera-US posted a few short clips yesterday of the boys in Time Square and one of them featured a very grown up looking Dominik.

I spotted Steven Geraghty among the entourage too.

Some more pics of the boys travelling on their US tour.
