Owl City, which plays Busch Gardens Tampa Bay in Tampa, Florida on Saturday, March 6, 2024.

Kicking off last month, the lineup for Busch Gardens’ Food & Wine Festival has been a who’s who of pop and rock from the ’90s and early-aughts.

This weekend, the shindig (included with park admission) gets an emo haircut to welcome Adam Young, the 37-year-old Minnesotan producer better known for the electronic dream-pop he made under the Owl City moniker (“Fireflies” was pretty much a proto-viral single that would’ve been a TikTok smash in this day and age).

Young plays Saturday while Colombian salsa favorite Grupo Niche headlines Sunday.

Owl City (Saturday, April 6) and Grupo Niche (Sunday, April 7) play the Busch Gardens Tampa Bay Food & Wine Festival this weekend are included with park admission. Subscribe to Creative Loafing newsletters.
