UNIVERSAL ORLANDO RESORT - Universal’s annual Mardi Gras celebration is kicking off its 2020 season on February 1st. The event promises to be a hit with specialty food, the luxurious Bayou Boil, its authentic Mardi Gras Parade and musical performances from New Orleans brass bands and some of the biggest names in music!
Noticeably absent from this year’s concert lineup, however, are Mardi Gras mainstays Pitbull, Jason Derulo and newly anointed tenure act Macklemore. When all 3 names were absent from the concert announcement, RPN reached out to representatives for said artists, who informed us of the trio’s misfortune of being trapped over the Atlantic Ocean in a hot air balloon.
The celebrated hip hop/R&B musicians were having a pre-Mardi Gras retreat to celebrate the upcoming iteration of their annual tradition, sources tell us. Before the hot air ballon ride, the retreat consisted of a canoe trip down Rock Springs in Apopka, FL and a picnic. The 3 close friends then boarded the hot air balloon for what was supposed to be a relaxing sightseeing trip.
“I just hope they have enough water to survive,” said the manager for the self-described Mardi Gras Residency Club. “I know they will all be missed at the Music Plaza Stage this year.”
In more fortunate news, Kool & the Gang are making their triumphant return to Universal’s Mardi Gras this year after being trapped in an underground coal mine since 2016.
