Just announced with music acts:

Anything with Meat Loaf is >>>>>

I hope one of those "Special Artist to be named" turns out to be Pentatonix again. They always pack the concert yard and are a treat to watch.

Ding dang, they got a few shows I would really like to see. If only that drive didn't suck so much.

I wouldn't be surprised if Pentatonix is one of the unnamed artists. They were one of the most popular acts the past 2 years.

The Goo Goo Dolls, Chino Y Nacho, and Chris Young have been added to the concert line-up. Check below for this scheduled concert performances. It also appears Kenny Rogers has been removed from his original March 5th scheduled concert, as Busch Gardens has now listed the date as TBA.

Official statement regarding Kenny Rogers:

“Kenny Rogers has canceled his appearance at the Busch Gardens Food & Wine festival on Saturday, March 5 due to illness. We wish him a speedy recovery and we are working to fill the open date and will announce once a special guest has been secured.”

The only band out of this entire line up i'd care to see is Goo Goo Dolls. But I don't have a BGT pass yet (may not until Mako) so I may not even go.

Two cancellations due to illness in the same week?

I dunno.

Well Kenny Rogers canceled a few weeks ago. Apparently he has cancelled the rest of his tour/appearances for the time being. So it's just this one.

Wait wait wait - you meaning to tell me an animal park focused on animal welfare care and research is hosting a food and wine festival?

That's stupid.

Well they are also a business and this makes said business money. Where does that money go? To reinvestment, profits, animal welfare, research, shareholders, etc.

Well, it ain't like the Animal Kingdom down the road is just serving falafels and hummus, either. You can like animals...and food.

I prefer animals as food.

The BG Food & Wine Festival is great! We went last year and this year and both visits were fantastic. The food is great and passholders even get a discount! Better value than EPCOT and much more enjoyable overall.

BTW- Collective Soul will be playing tomorrow (March 12th) in place of the Goo Goo Dolls. Pretty good get for a last minute substitution.
