Universal CityWalk Rings in 2014 with Southern California’s Biggest

New Year’s Eve Party, Featuring Dazzling Fireworks Displays, Three Live Concert Stages, DJ Performances and a Midnight Cascade of 1,000 Pounds of Confetti​

Universal City, California – The countdown to 2014 begins at Universal CityWalk as The Entertainment Capital of L.A.SM ushers in the new year with Los Angeles’ biggest and most dynamic New Year’s Eve celebration featuring spectacular fireworks displays, thousands of pounds of confetti, and non-stop live concert and DJ performances throughout Universal CityWalk and Universal Studios Hollywood to welcome 2014.

At the “5 Towers” state-of-the-art outdoor concert venue, headline acts will include Travis Garland, an R&B / pop musician who’s performed to sold out crowds at top L.A. clubs, including the world-famous The Roxy Theatre and The House of Blues; and Latino recording artist Eddie Gomez, who first rose to fame as a prolific street performer at Universal CityWalk, before performing at The Roxy Theatre and The Mint. He’ll entertain with his unique and contemporary blend of modern and pop music.

Non-stop entertainment at the Globe Plaza stage, located adjacent to the theme park’s main entry, will feature Air Dubai, renowned for their highly energetic performances mixing R&B, jazz, alternative rock and hip-hop; and 7 Lions, a band whose music fusion blends hip-hop with electric pop rock.

Universal Studios Hollywood’s all-new open air Universal Plaza – located in the center of the theme park – will provide a theatre-in-the-round environment for Ricky “Rocks” Lorek, an innovative musician whose distinctive sounds combines DJing and live drums / percussions with a variety of house, electric, hip-hop and rock to deliver an explosive new form of entertainment. A staple entertainer in the A-list social scene, Ricky “Rocks” Lorek has performed at special events and after-parties from MTV’s VMAs to the Grammy® Awards.

The popular New Year’s Eve destination has also expanded to include multiple designated firework display viewing areas to capture the elaborate aerial choreography that will launch simultaneously from three different locations, including the “WaterWorld®” attraction, a stadium-style arena that will also provide family-friendly entertainment including balloon artists.

I might do this again this year. It's always interesting to see the park without any of the attractions running.
