The Universal Music Plaza Stage is an outdoor amphitheater located in Orlando, Florida. The venue opened on February 21, 2009, and is located within Universal Studios Florida, in the New York section of the park, replacing the former attraction, The Boneyard. It hosts 15–20 concerts per season. The amphitheater can hold 8,000 spectators in standing-room capacity.[1]
In 2008, Universal Parks & Resorts confirmed the closure of the outdoor museum, The Boneyard. The attraction closed September 2008, although demolition began July 2008. Following the closure, the park announced two new attractions, debuting in 2009. The first being the Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit roller coaster and a music venue. Officially named the Universal Music Plaza Stage in January 2009, the venue is modeled after the historic Hollywood Bowl.[2] The amphitheater is standing room only with an estimated capacity of up to 8,000 spectators. The venue opened on February 21, 2009[3] with a concert by Ne-Yo. It is the park's main music venue for live performances and hosts the park's various festivals including Mardi Gras, Rock the Universe, Grad Bash, Universal Studios Summer Concert Series[4] and Holiday Cheer You Can Only Hear.[5]
musical segments of the show were filmed on two separate occasions when the show was taped at Universal Studios Florida. The first occasion (June 16–19, 2014) included performances by Jennifer Lopez, Jimmy Buffett, fun. and Pitbull; and on the second occasion (April 3–6, 2017), performances by Flo Rida, Jason Derulo featuring Ty Dolla $ign, Blake Shelton and Pitbull.
As part of Mardi Gras season, select dates feature a headlining act at the venue, some of which are heavily-attended.
