The National Weather Service calls the inland stretch between Tampa and Cape Canaveral the Lightning Capital of the United States, and Orlando sits right in the middle of it. From late May until the rainy season breaks in mid October, storms build in the afternoon and evening on a regular schedule. They tend to come and go quickly, but check the venue's weather updates before you leave for anything outdoors.

Know Before You Go
Downtown, Near Church Street
Kia Center opened in 2010 as the Amway Center and took the Kia name in December 2023. It is home to the Magic and the main stop for arena tours. SunRail's Church Street station is about a five minute walk away, which makes the train a real option on a weeknight. Service has long been built around weekday commuters, so check the schedule and the last train home before you count on it.
Across I-4 in the City District, the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts on Magnolia Avenue opened in November 2014. Steinmetz Hall followed in January 2022 and can shift between a concert hall and a theater. The smaller Judson's Live room inside handles more intimate sets.
Orange Avenue and the Neighborhoods
- The Beacham fills a 1921 theater on North Orange Avenue that once housed Aahz, an early 1990s club that played a part in the American dance music movement. The Social shares a doorway with it next door.
- The Plaza Live in the Milk District opened in 1963 as Orlando's first twin movie theater, turned to live music in 2006 and is owned by the Orlando Philharmonic.
- Will's Pub in Mills 50 is a bar with a stage for indie, rock and country shows.
For club nights, browse electronic and indie and alternative.
Theme Park Side
Hard Rock Live at Universal CityWalk seats up to 3,000, and House of Blues holds down Disney Springs. Both are inside busy resort areas, so give yourself extra time during holiday weeks.
Big Lots and Big Crowds
Camping World Stadium hosts stadium shows, and Tinker Field next door hosts EDC Orlando, the electronic festival, in November. Out east, Addition Financial Arena at UCF opened in 2007 with Reba McEntire and holds a little over 10,000 for concerts.
Coming From Out of Town
Brightline from South Florida stops at Orlando International Airport, next to Terminal C, not downtown. Line up a ride from the airport before you board. Driving in from Tampa or Daytona Beach means I-4, and I-4 at rush hour means leaving earlier than you think you need to.
