T-Pain, Joe Jonas, Juanes, and 9 MORE Celebrity Artists CONFIRMED To Perform at Universal Orlando Mardi Gras Concerts

Feet don’t fail us now, we’ve got some partying to do now that Universal Orlando has confirmed their Mardi Gras concert series lineup!

The annual festivities fill the streets of Universal Studios with parades, festival food booths, and even opportunities to become part of the entertainment! It’s a lively time to visit already, but this Mardi Gras season at Universal is about to get even better!

This year’s lineup of star-studded concerts is already gearing up to be a wild time! This year’s concerts will offer park visitors 12 live performances of popular musical artists – including GRAMMY- winning artist T-Pain, pop superstar Joe Jonas, and Latin GRAMMY-winning artist Juanes. These live  performances will take place on select nights at the Music Plaza Stage following the Mardi Gras parade.

Here’s a look at the confirmed line up for 2025! This year will mark the 30th year celebrating Mardi Gras at Universal, and they’re expecting to celebrate BIG!

The entire festival will take place from February 1st through March 30th as Universal Mardi Gras: International Flavors of Carnaval. This year teases to feature an all-new menu of international cuisine, parade with colorful floats and as we’ve already mentioned, these live concerts on select nights by some of the biggest names in music. The best part of it all is that park visitors can enjoy all the fun and festivities as part of regular theme park admission to Universal Studios.

Since Universal has plans in making this year even bigger, the biggest names in music isn’t all they’ve got up their sleeve. Universal has teased the debut of six all-new floats inspired by some of the most famous Krewes in New Orleans. The new collection of floats will highlight food, beads, and the bayou, and will join rank with Universal’s traditional lineup of New Orleans-inspired signature floats.

Things are also about to get a bit spicier when it comes to the flavors offered at Mardi Gras! Universal has also confirmed we will see all-new menu items joining the festival food kiosks, featuring some of the sweets, savory eats, and spicy dishes from New Orleans to Puerto Rico and beyond. Be on the lookout for Hot Maple Lacquered Salmon from Canada, Spicy Szechuan Chicken Bites from China, a Colombian Burger, and so much more to try during your next Universal Mardi Gras visit.

As we touched on before this is also a unique festival that offers YOU a chance to get in on the entertainment. While its true there’s music, performers, and parades to get your toes a tappin’, Universal offers an exclusive opportunity to its visitors during Mardi Gras to ride the parade floats! Kick up your fun another level with the Mardi Gras Float Ride and Dine Experience – which allows you to reserve a spot to toss colorful, sparkling beads from a Mardi Gras float during the event’s parade after enjoying a three-course meal at one of eight participating restaurants across the park.

And don’t forget the Mardi Gras celebration continues at the Universal Orlando hotels, too! During the season, Universal Orlando hotels will offer exclusive Mardi Gras food and beverages, including Bourbon Street Beignets at The Kitchen in Hard Rock Hotel, Bayou Shrimp and Grits at Bar 17 in Universal Aventura Hotel, and New Orleans Chicken or Shrimp Po’ Boy at Beach Break Cafe in Universal Endless Summer Resort – Surfside Inn and Suites.

Feel like a Mardi Gras King or Queen when you take advantage of the limited-time offer to become a Universal Orlando Annual Passholder. For this offer, you can save up to $100 on the purchase of a Universal Annual Pass. Universal Annual and Seasonal Passholders are also eligible to receive exclusive Mardi Gras perks, including an opportunity to ride a Mardi Gras float in the parade (with an advance reservation), a complimentary Mardi Gras-themed button, access to a special viewing area to view the parade, food and beverage discounts up to 15% off, and special merchandise.

We’ll be on the lookout for all the updates leading up to Mardi Gras AND out to experience it all when it starts! Be sure you’re following along with us at AllEars for the latest.
