Jason Derulo And Jessie J Complete Universal Orlando’s 2018 Mardi Gras Concert Lineup
Powerhouse singer-songwriters, Jason Derulo and Jessie J, are joining the exciting concert lineup for Universal Orlando Resort’s annual Mardi Gras celebration – one of the most authentic Mardi Gras events outside New Orleans.
Multiplatinum selling artist and dancer, Jason Derulo, will take the stage on Saturday, March 10. With more than 100 million single sales worldwide, the international superstar is known for his breakout hits, “Whatcha Say” and “Talk Dirty,” and his most recent hit, “Swalla,” which has amassed over 980 million views on YouTube.
Performing live on Saturday, March 24, top-selling U.K. vocalist and songwriter, Jessie J, is known for chart-toppers, such as “Domino,” “Price Tag,” and the multiplatinum worldwide smash, “Bang Bang,” which alone has nearly 500 million streams on Spotify and one billion views on YouTube. She has sold more than 20 million singles and three million albums worldwide. Her new album, R.O.S.E., will be released later this year featuring the powerful anthem, “Queen.”
Now through April 7, Universal Orlando’s 2018 Mardi Gras is Florida’s Biggest Party, featuring mouthwatering Cajun-style cuisine, vibrantly costumed performers, nightly parades, countless beads and thrilling, live performances from some of the biggest names in music. See below for the complete concert schedule.
