Royal Hawaiian Band Performs Live at ʻIolani Palace

  • ʻIolani Palace 364 South King Street Honolulu, HI, 96813 United States (map)

From its royal beginnings in 1836, the Royal Hawaiian Band has entertained audiences in Hawaiʻi and around the world for 180 years.

Once known as the “King’s Band,” it was created by King Kamehameha III and became a staple of daily life by performing for state occasions, funerals, and marching in parades. The band accompanied Hawaiian monarchs on frequent trips to the outer islands, bringing music to remote destinations of the kingdom, such as the leper colony of Kalaupapa on the island of Molokaʻi.

The mission of the band is to promote music, preserve Hawaiian musical culture, inspire young musicians, and enrich the lives of the people of Hawaiʻi.
