Rock the Universe

Event Overview

Rock the Universe is Universal Orlando's annual two-night Christian music festival, held after regular park hours at Universal Studios Florida since 1998. Ticketed guests get festival concerts plus access to select park attractions during event hours (roughly 4pm to 1am).

Its signature element is the headliner concert lineup of major contemporary Christian and Christian rock artists performing across the park's stages, capped by an optional Sunday morning worship service the day after the festival concludes.

Highlights

• 2026 headliners include Forrest Frank, Phil Wickham, Switchfoot, and Lecrae
• Additional confirmed 2026 performers include Colton Dixon
• A Sunday morning worship service is held the morning after the two concert nights
• Concerts are staged across multiple areas of the park
• Festival access includes riding attractions like Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts, Revenge of the Mummy, and Race Through New York during event hours

Planning Tips

• Buy the 3-Park Rock Your Weekend ticket if you're staying multiple days — it bundles both concert nights with regular park admission.
• Get in line early for headliner sets, as prime viewing areas fill up well before showtime.
• Ride major attractions during headliner set changeovers, when lines briefly thin out.
• If attending for the faith community aspect, plan to stay for the Sunday morning worship service the day after.
