Universal Orlando announces summer concert series

by Leigh Caldwell (RSS feed) on May 6th 2010 at 5:00PM

Train ("Drops of Jupiter"), Rob Thomas (Matchbox 20) and Counting Crows ("Round Here") will perform on Saturday nights this summer at Universal Orlando Resort.

It's the second year for the Summer Concert Series, with seven concerts planned on Saturday nights between June 12 and July 17.

The concerts happen inside the Universal Studios Florida theme park, and they are free with theme park admission.

There's some great balance in the list of artists performing. Several decades of stardom are represented, which should draw in folks of all ages. (This 30-something will definitely be there on July 17!) Here is the full lineup:

June 12, Train
June 19, Pitbull
June 26, Earth, Wind and Fire
July 3, Pat Benatar and REO Speewagon
July 10, Rob Thomas
July 17, Counting Crows

Universal Orlando has one of the best outdoor concert venues at any theme park, anywhere. Music Plaza opened last year right in front of the Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit roller coaster.

This method is sometimes good for doing Disney in the busy season. But Universal is a much smaller scope. And if you have a seven-day pass, I really wouldn't bother. You'll do well with a very simple plan,

At Universal Studios the best rides are The Simpsons, Men In Black, Rip Rocket Roller Coaster and The Mummy. At Islands of Adventure the best rides are The Hulk, Spiderman and Dueling Dragons- make sure you go on both as they are totally different roller coasters.
