25 years ago, Universal Orlando opened the gates to their first theme park. My have things changed. The one thing that stays the same, however, is the amazing entertainment that the park has been lining up year, after year. This year the park is celebrating all that great entertainment by kicking it up several notches with their 25th Anniversary Concert Series. The series starts this weekend, and includes concerts by today’s biggest names. This weekend there’s two huge concerts, and not only does it kick off the concert series, but what better way to kick off summer as well.
On select nights May 23 through June 20, a diverse lineup of award-winning, chart-topping artists will headline a special concert series at Universal Orlando Resort as part of Universal Orlando’s 25th anniversary year. The 25th Anniversary Concert Series features an array of talent with something for everyone, including internationally-renowned artist Pitbull, chart-topping band Goo Goo Dolls, award-winning Latin idol Prince Royce, teen sensation Shawn Mendes and more. The excitement of the concert series is included with admission to Universal Studios Florida.
