We're still not sure exactly when Universal Studios Orlando will open the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, but the park is still giving us plenty of reasons to drive up I-4.

The park's annual Mardi Gras celebration kicks off Feb. 6, and the park has once again attracted a slew of top-notch talent for its weekly concert series: Sheryl Crow, Blondie, Dierks Bentley, Aretha Franklin, Heart, Akon, Flo Rida, Miranda Lambert, 3 Doors Down, KC and the Sunshine Band, Kool and the Gang, Chicago and the Beach Boys.

The concerts take place each weekend through April 17, which is way past the end of Mardi Gras, but hey, the party never stops in New Orleans, so why should it stop in Orlando? Admission to the concerts is included with a Universal ticket or annual pass. Get the full concert lineup after the jump.
