Faith, music, and theme-park energy; all turned up loud. 🙌🎸


Rock the Universe isn’t just a concert weekend, it’s an atmosphere. For two high-energy nights, Universal Studios Florida transforms into a massive after-dark Christian music festival where worship, joy, and adrenaline all collide. You’re moving from stage to stage with music echoing through the park, hopping on attractions under the lights, and surrounded by thousands of people singing along, hands raised, phones glowing, and spirits high. Whether you come with a youth group, family, or friends, the entire weekend feels celebratory, welcoming, and intentionally uplifting. This is the kind of event where the music is powerful, the crowds are joyful, and the vibes stay strong well into the night.

🎢 Rides, Stages & After-Dark Energy

Rock the Universe is built into the park itself, which means you’re not stuck in one place all night.


🎡 Attractions Open During the Event Many fan-favorite rides remain open, letting you break up concerts with thrill rides, coasters, and immersive attractions all glowing under nighttime lighting.


🎤 Multiple Performance Stages The main concert stage anchors the event, but additional stages and performance zones are scattered throughout the park. You’ll constantly stumble into live music, spontaneous praise moments, and smaller sets as you move from land to land.


The result is a festival that feels alive everywhere you go.


🎟 Tickets & Event Options

Rock the Universe requires separate event tickets.

Available options typically include:
