SeaWorld San Antonio is now heading into our third year of Bands, Brew & BBQ! We have moved locations, added festivals, street entertainment and made lots of adjustments over the last couple of years. This year's festival should be a great one!
This year we decided to change it up a bit when the event was held over three weekends on Saturdays. We wanted to park to have that festival feeling all weekend long so we added a fourth concert and decided to have shows on Saturdays and Sundays for two weekends. We took a look around San Antonio and South Texas to see what was happening in the music scene. We reviewed guest surveys from the last two BBQ events and decided to make a change in music styles. This year we went with Classic Rock!
We fittingly kick off the event with The Commodores on Saturday, April 10. After all Motown is legendary for being the roots of what we now call Rock and Roll! The following day we have Bret Michaels. Bret was the lead singer from the hugely popular '80s band "Poison," has had his own TV reality show on VH1 and is now on Celebrity Apprentice. His solo work has proven to be very popular and we think this show will be a great one!
The next weekend we chose some '70s Rock and Roll on Saturday with Grand Funk Railroad! These guys have been rockin' for a long time with lots of classic hits like “We're an American Band.” This show is going to be a blast.
Our grand finale for this year's event is Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo. Pat has made a ton of hits and we are all looking forward to her performance. She recently played Bands Brews & BBQ at Busch Gardens Tampa and we hear it was amazing!
The concerts will be held in Nautilus Amphitheater which is nice because it has a roof, seating and standing areas for our guests to see the show. The sound and lights in this building are great so it is always an outstanding show. On the street in front of Nautilus there will be a festival featuring some very cool vendors, band merchandise, radio station remotes, ice cold beer, BBQ and of course, more BBQ!
You will need to get to SeaWorld early for these concerts for sure! As our events grow, so does their popularity. While the concerts are included in admission, we issue wristbands to each guest on a first come first serve basis. Once they are gone that means the show is full. We also have a VIP Package available that includes early entry into the venue and a meal! If you don't get a wristband you can always sit in the grassy area around Nautilus to catch the show as well.
Check out our events page for all of our upcoming concerts, festivals and holidays! 2010 is going to be amazing!
