About the Rock the Universe festival
O Rock the Universe is Florida’s largest Christian music festival and it takes place every year at Universal Studios Florida. It was created in 1998, gathering great names of contemporary Christian music in an environment that mixes faith, entertainment and, above all, entertainment.
Previously held in September, the event moved to January in 2019, and thus became one of the main attractions of the beginning of the year in Orlando. Always in the last weekend of January, the festival attracts thousands of tourists, especially groups of young people and churches, who find there a unique opportunity to celebrate.
During the Rock the Universe, visitors can attend performances by renowned artists, participate in moments of worship, accompany the Sunday morning service and, in addition, enjoy the park attractions that are open exclusively to participants.
The festival continues until late at night and thus offers a vibrant atmosphere that unites music, spirituality and leisure. Rock the Universe 2026 will be one of the most striking experiences of the Universal Orlando Resort.
