Orlando Calling Tickets

Amazing musical weekend! This is going to be the next BIG music festival in all of Florida!

I enjoyed the Orlando Calling Event, however some of the stages could have had something differently set up with their speaker systems. One stage flowed into another. And there could have been a few more bar areas open to the general audience.

I was at the festival on the first day. I stayed at the main stage throughout the day as I waited for The Killers to take the stage when they closed out the night. Little did I know how much I would enjoy the rest of the acts that preceeded The Killers. I missed The Ettes set, but Gogol Bordello were an atomic bomb on stage. Powerful, eclectic punk sounds and attitude that got the crowd fired up on that warm day. To mix things up, Kid Cudi took the stage next. His set was energetic and full of dancy beats that one can groove to. It was unexpectedly amazing. To continue with the suprising line-up, The Avett Brothers took the stage. Their folky, guitar sound was shockingly danceable. The vocals and energy they put into their set was infectious and soon the whole crowd was dancing along. Next up were the indie rock pioneers, The Pixies. They wowed the crowd as they played the whole of "Doolittle" in track order. They easily competed with any of the other, younger bands on stage that day. Truly unforgettable performance. Now, this is where I hit a snag. The Raconteurs' set was boring and too long. It didn't seem to fit with the rest of the acts that day.The energy and good time vibe just wasn't there for me. But all of that didn't matter much as the crowd buzzed with excitement knowing that The Killers were about to take the stage. Walking on with an epic sounding soundtrack, the four wandering souls from Las Vegas started the crowd dancing by kicking their set off with 'Spaceman'. The energy continued to build throughout their whole set as they ripped through hit after hit. By the time 'All These Things That I've Done' came around, the crowd was in a complete state of euphoria as cannons of never-ending confetti showered ove the whole crowd. They left the stage and the audience had yet to fully recover when they came back on for a heart pounding encore that ended with the anthemic "When You Were Young". Sparks were literally flying as The Killers closed out an unquestionably blissful night.

We could only afford to go one day so we chose Sunday - Legendary JC's, Thomas Wynn and the Believers abd Blake Shelton ALL IN ONE PLACE?! Yes, please!! There were so many vendors with fantastic wares to sell, the staff was friendly, and the music was everything I had hoped for and more! This will absolutely be a yearly event for us!

We sure a glad to have seen that this concert would take place as we were on vacation in Florida. You betcha, it was excellent. Dwight & co, Kid Rock, Bob Seger, Chris Isaak, and all the rest (at least those on Sunday). We hope that this event will continue and we'll have to take a vacation to Orlando once a year- OUCH, hurt me- lol

The Raconteurs killed it! Other bands were surprisingly good especially those not featured on the main stage. The pixies were probably my second favorite. The food and "official" merch was way WAY over priced but I guess that is to be expected. $12 for a sandwich.

Really enjoyed the day. Kid Rock and Bob Seger were great. Enjoyed all of the music at each venue. Highly suggest they consider moving the days to a FRIDAY/SATURDAY combined event - really too late for a Sunday night. Had a great day of entertainment!

I thought the show was amazing, was only there on Sat but so many acts 2 c, Sat line up was awesome from the beginning 2 the end nothing but great acts. I actually was surprised that there was not a bigger turn out, but for me I worked out great was right in the front 4 any show I wanted. Hope it returns next year would definately go again, my only suggestion would b drop ticketmaster

THE BEST Concert EVER! Will remember forever!!!! They Both ROCK!!

It was a new event. They have some kinks to work out, but all in all, it was a decent line up and an interesting use of the grounds. Curious to see what they come up with next year.
