SeaWorld launches a coast-to-coast live music series for 2026, bundled with park admission at SeaWorld Orlando, San Diego, and San Antonio, running from early spring through summer in tandem with the Seven Seas Food Festival.

The lineup blends nostalgia and contemporary acts, featuring Flo Rida, Boyz II Men, The Beach Boys, Fitz and the Tantrums, Bow Wow, Soulja Boy, Gene Simmons, Ying Yang Twins, Uncle Kracker, and the Pop 2000 Tour, with Chris Kirkpatrick and others from NSYNC-era acts.

Details on exact dates, venues, and lineups will be announced for each park, with performances subject to change and more acts expected to be added.

SeaWorld portrays the move as a strategic effort to boost tourism, raise attendance, and elevate its status as a premier destination for music tourism across multiple markets.

Some May dates (May 1–2 and May 17) are marked as To Be Announced, and several April/May slots may feature surprise guests.

The festival emphasizes built-in guest experiences, pairing full-length concerts with Seven Seas’ food offerings, while signaling ongoing updates with TA slots and potential surprises.

The company frames the concert series as a value-add to the guest experience and a central element of SeaWorld’s 2026 offerings, while acknowledging mixed past responses to promotional events.

SeaWorld’s CEO notes the live music experience is designed to create unique moments at SeaWorld parks and position the brand as a leader in entertainment tourism.

SeaWorld aims to attract families, music fans, and international visitors by combining concerts with attractions, food festivals, animal encounters, and immersive events.

The Seven Seas Food Festival runs January 30 to May 17, featuring more than 25 food and beverage outlets with rotating menus.

The festival will also offer rotating menus and evolving beverage options across more than 25 market locations within the parks.

Jon Peterson, SeaWorld Orlando park president, calls this the biggest and most diverse concert lineup the Seven Seas Festival has ever had.
