Vanilla Ice Is Back in Tampa This Month
Sip some wine and check out the hook as his DJ revolves it. Vanilla Ice Is Back in Tampa this month for a performance May 19 and it’s free. Sort of. A Vanilla Ice Tampa concert happens Sunday, May 19 at 6pm at Busch Gardens as part of their Food & Wine Festival.
Vanilla Ice drew a good crowd last year when he played a post Rays game concert at Tropicana Field. There were Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and of course a finale performance of “Ice Ice Baby” during hits set for the I Love The 90s Tour stop with Rob Base and Montell Jordan.
As with all concerts for the Busch Gardens Food & Wine Festival, the show is free with park admission. So if you have one of those annual passes, there’s nothing left to do but show up.
If you want to upgrade to seats closer to the stage, you might want to look into getting an annual pass. Passholders can get a free upgrade. You can also purchase a VIP Seating Package that includes a beverage, private VIP bar, and a seat right by the stage. But honestly, I’ve been to quite a few shows at Busch Gardens. You don’t need to upgrade to enjoy the show. Just get there early for a good spot!
This year’s Busch Gardens Food & Wine Festival concert lineup has been pretty stacked. 38 Special plays Busch Gardens tonight at 6. Over the past few months acts like the Goo Goo Dolls, Starship and Sister Hazel have taken the Busch Gardens stage.
Next weekend, the iconic Lynyrd Skynyrd (yes, I used copy and paste so I spelled it correctly) takes the stage to perform their classic hits like “Free Bird” and “Sweet Home Alabama.” Flo Rida will perform his hits like “Low” and “Right Round” the night before Vanilla Ice is back in Tampa on May 18.
