Hard Rock Live Orlando, a 3,000-capacity concert venue located at Universal Orlando's CityWalk, showcases music from national acts to emerging artists. Hard Rock Live and the 1000-seat Hard Rock Cafe Orlando-which is also perfect for live music-are situated in a 140,000-square-foot building designed as a retro interpretation of the Roman Coliseum.
Orlando's best concert venue! Imposing columns, majestic archways, a grand entrance, plus the latest in sound and light technology combine them all and you get Hard Rock Live, Orlando's "Coliseum of Rock."
The Scene
The facility boasts stadium seating, 10-feet-high video walls and 124 ear-numbing speakers. Those same speakers provide hi-fidelity sound, not just overwhelming volume. The sheer size of the facility may feel a bit intimidating at first, but the well-trained staff will efficiently direct you to your destination. Just about all seats in the venue's three-level, opera house-style layout provide a panoramic stage view. The first two levels are for general admission ticket holders, the third is the plush VIP section (with luxurious faux-leather seats).
The Draw
Don't miss the infamous "Lennon" room, located just behind the VIP area. The room, decorated with tastefully matched white furniture that belonged to the late Beatle (along with walls of memorabilia), feels quite removed from the music events taking place a few hundred feet away. |
