Central Florida’s economy anticipates a financial boon from upcoming Rolling Stones concert

Tens of thousands of fans will gather at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida to see The Rolling Stones on Monday night. The stadium estimates that at least 42,000 people will attend the concert, but they anticipate that number will be even higher. This event has drawn people in from across Florida, as well as from around the country and the world.

One concert-goer, Michael, who is visiting from Poland, explained that there are many reasons why he chose to attend the Rolling Stones 2024 Hackney Diamonds tour in Orlando. He mentioned that he and his group enjoy Florida, having previously been to Miami and planning to visit St. Augustine. However, the main reason for their trip to Orlando was to attend The Rolling Stones concert.

Allen Johnson, the Chief Venues Officer with the city of Orlando, expressed his excitement that Orlando is the only city in Florida where The Rolling Stones will perform on their 2024 tour. He estimates that the concert will bring in $22 million to the local economy. Johnson highlighted Orlando’s appeal due to its central location, easy airport access, world-class hotels, and attractions.

While the concert has attracted many out-of-town visitors, Central Florida residents are also thrilled to have The Rolling Stones performing in their backyard. One Orlando resident, Lance Shaver, mentioned that he has been to many Rolling Stones concerts and lives just down the street from the stadium.

Camping World Stadium noted that parking for the event is sold out, and they recommend using the free shuttle departing from Central Avenue underneath Interstate 4 to get to the stadium. This transportation option will help attendees navigate traffic and parking challenges.
