Sea World Orlando Concerts Renamed "Bands, Brew & BBQ"

Sea World Orlando has been going through some transitions lately. They were recently sold to the Blackstone Group and they have just renamed their concert series. The concert series was formerly known as "Bud & BBQ" and it has just recently been renamed "Bands, Brew & BBQ." The sale by Anheuser Busch to the Blackstone Group has prompted the name change.

The concerts take place at two locations in the central Florida area, SeaWorld Orlando and Busch Gardens Tamps Bay with the concerts at Sea World Orlando on Saturdays and the concerts at Busch Gardens Tamps Bay are on Sundays.

The February schedule has been released for both locations. Here are the schedules:

At SeaWorld:

LeAnn Rimes on 2/6/2010
Montgomery Gentry on 2/13/2010
John Rich on 2/20/2010
Yes on 2/27/2010

At Busch Gardens:

Dennis DeYoung from Styx on 2/7/2010
Willie Nelson on 2/14/2010
Huey Lewis and the News on 2/21/2010
Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo on 2/28/2010

Sea World sale is Official

Today (December 1, 2009) the sale of SeaWorld was complete. The Blackstone Group paid Inbev $2.1 billion for Sea World and Busch Garden theme parks. The Blackstone Group is already the majority stock holder in Universal Studios theme parks and now they own 10 major theme parks across America.

It has been well speculated for sometime that the Blackstone Group does not plan to make major changes to the theme park and even though Universal and Sea World are owned by the same owners we do not expect much to change between the two companies. The only change we expect to see is for Sea World and Universal to push their combo tickets a little more.
