One of the reasons why Universal's Mardi Gras included with a park entry so amazing is that the concerts are included!

Each year Mardi Gras has a big line of musical stars that play one-off concerts in Universal Studios Florida's Music Plaza. Past lineups for Mardi Gras have included Diana Ross, Jason Derulo and Pittbull.

Concerts are only on during select nights across the event, but they are on at regular intervals so there's bound be a concert on during your vacation over the event.

Music Plaza gets very busy on concert nights so it's worth turning up early (with Mardi Gras themed snacks) to claim your spot to watch the show.

So far we don't know who has been scheduled to join the 2023 lineup but we're sure it'll be as fun as it normally is.
