Universal Orlando 2014 Mardi Gras concert lineup released

Posted By Seth Kubersky on Wed, Jan 15, 2014 at 7:08 PM

The Wanted is the final announced act in the Universal Orlando 2014 Mardi Gras concert lineup. While certain Orlando theme parks keep losing musical acts, earlier today Universal Orlando released an unusually strong list of artists for their 2014 Mardi Gras concert lineup. This year's event opens on February 8 with a performance by Daughtry, and continues all the way until May 31, with concerts on Saturday nights and select Fridays in March. Top names on the Universal Orlando 2014 Mardi Gras concert lineup include Barenaked Ladies (who backed out of a SeaWorld gig post-Blackfish), Robin Thicke, Foreigner, Nelly, Gavin DeGraw, and The Wanted. All headliner concerts take place on the Music Plaza stage in Universal Studios Florida after the Mardi Gras parade (which features 3 new floats inspired by "Around the World in 80 Days"), and are included with regular admission or annual passes. Here's the full concert lineup direct from Universal, including the authentic New Orleans bands performing in the "French Quarter Courtyard" food and merchandise area:
