For CCM Magazine, the lineup feels a little like a Cover Story reunion. Jamie MacDonald, 1K Phew, Franni Cash, Katy Nichole, Megan Woods and CAIN have each sat down with us to go beyond the songs and share the stories, faith and experiences shaping their music.
Now, fans will have the chance to see all six during one weekend at Universal Orlando.
Rock the Universe combines its concerts and worship experiences with access to attractions throughout Universal Studios Florida, including Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts, Revenge of the Mummy, Despicable Me: Minion Mayhem, Illumination’s Villain-Con Minion Blast and Race Through New York Starring Jimmy Fallon.
The weekend concludes Sunday, January 24, with a special morning worship service.
Tickets and vacation packages go on sale September 15, including single-night admission and the popular Rock Your Weekend ticket, which combines the Rock the Universe festivities with daytime access to Universal Orlando’s theme parks.
Rock the Universe 2027 takes place January 22-23 at Universal Studios Florida in Orlando.
For CCM fans, there may be no better place to see this many Cover Story alumni together in one weekend.
