Macklemore, Sean Paul Among Headliners at Universal Mardi Gras Event

Universal Orlando has announced a star-studded lineup for the park’s 2018 Mardi Gras celebration, according to a news release.

Macklemore, Sean Paul and Fifth Harmony are among 13 headliners expected to perform during the event, which is scheduled to take place from February 3 to April 7. The artists will perform in the park’s music plaza, the news release said.

Inspired by the traditional Mardi Gras celebration in New Orleans, Universal’s celebration will feature Cajun-style cuisine, a parade and New Orleans bands. Other well-known artists performing during the event are Andy Grammer, Fitz and the Tantrums and Phillip Phillips.

The parade’s theme – constellations – will be evident in 12 hand-crafted floats that will roll through the park’s grounds during the night. Universal will also incorporate six new floats into the Mardi Gras parade: Keep an eye out for the Taurus, Virgo and Serpentarius if you go.

Entry to the Mardi Gras celebration is included with regular park admission or an annual pass.

So far, 11 of the 13 headliners have been announced. See event dates and corresponding artists below.
