So excited to see Flock of Seagulls perform on our wedding anniversary/upcoming May trip! I have never done Garden Rocks. Generally, when are the performances? Evenings? Considering a dining package to get the seating. Probably not necessary, but I think it will be kind of fun (visiting with our 20 year old musician son) to make a thing out of this. Question: says dining packages can be booked starting Jan 19. I assume that is for shows 60 days out, and that I will wait and book mine 60 days from May 20-21 (the concert I want?) Anything else I should keep in mind regarding Garden Rocks? Thank you!

Nice group of Acts and still 6 TBDs to be added!

SO AWESOME TO HAVE THE NATIONAL/INTERNATIONAL ACTS BACK!!!!

And even though it will be a Friday/Saturday/Sunday/Monday schedule for this return of "normalcy",I was very excitedly SURPRISED to see that Orlando Bands will fill the Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday "gap"!

Really hoping The Hooligans and Summer Breeze are on the schedule!!!!

Mike performs with Billy Joel at Joel's concerts.

Rollingstone.com had a similar article

He puts on a good show. Booking Billy Joel wasn't an option.


Most of the acts are more or less cover. Lionel Richie was with the Commodores.

The Commodores still have 3 Members who have been around a LONG time.

• William King – trumpet, guitar, keyboards, vocals (1968–present)
• Walter Orange – drums, vocals (1972–present)
• James Dean "J.D." Nicholas – vocals, keyboards (1984–present)

And they can still bring it!

We saw them at a Charity Concert about 10 years ago that featured:

Brad Paisley
Sara Evans
Martina McBride
Jake Owen
Luke Bryan
Little Big Town
Dierks Bentley
Darius Rucker

They were a late addition and absolutely STOLE THE SHOW!!!!

The audience response to Brick House was one of the greatest I have ever seen at any Concert!

Planning to be there-they will BURN DOWN America Gardens!(figuratively of course!lol)

I'm kind of excited for Rick Springfield on Mar 6th, there never usually is anyone I want to see playing at F&W, except Tiffany in 2019, so this kind of makes me giddy. I'm not even that big of a fan but can tolerate him, lol.

Where did you see that local bands will be performing during the week? Every link I have looked at doesn't say that, or I missed it.

Sounds like I picked a bad example

 

[suzywindy]

yipeeeeeeeee Herman Hermits! I'm Henry the 8th I am

 

[WEDWDW]

I think Ambrosia with Peter Beckett looks interesting.

Three of the original 4 members plus the addition of Peter.

All the great Ambrosia hits plus the added bonus of Baby Come Back!

I'm glad that the local Orlando bands are filling in the Tues-Thursday gap. I really enjoyed the M-80's band and I hope they are playing during my visits in March and April. I am not to excited by the Friday-Monday bands.

Gin Blossoms
Billy Ocean
Air Supply
Tony Orlando

(I think they all usually come for Eat to the Beat, but I would be happy to see them sooner.)

Well, I was hoping for someone great for March 14th. I am canceling my dinner reservations if anyone needs R&C

Great list-Air Supply would be cool.

Also hoping for the Allman Betts Band-relatively new Band that can really get after it-they were scheduled to make their WDW debut at Garden Rocks 2020.

were you able to cancel your reservation? I am trying to cancel my 3/13 reservation and I can't online - got a message to call. When I called, the CM said he cannot cancel either and opened a ticket and said the issue would be resolved in a few days...it's been a few days and I still see the reservation. I'll call again tomorrow but was wonder if you were able to cancel yours? Super frustrating because the hold time is over 2 hours and nothing is happening.

Yeah it was no problem. Try booking something over it, and see if it tells you to cancel the reservation as part of that booking.
