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.
This Saturday, May 23rd Prince Royce kicks off the double line up weekend with a huge concert. Sunday May 24th singer-songwriting teen sensation Shawn Mendes fires it up. Concerts begin at 9p.m. and are included with theme park admission. The concerts are held on the Music Plaza Stage, right underneath Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit. The venue is standing room only, so make sure to get there early to find your place in the crowd.
Here’s the rest of the line up:
