Central Floridian fixture Earthday Birthday is set to return to Orlando on April 22, 2023 for an ear-splitting birthday bash. The annual event, hosted by iHeartRadio’s 101.1 WJRR station, is one of the biggest and longest running festivals in Florida, attracting bands like The Offspring and (perhaps predictably) Sublime with Rome. This year, the lineup includes Breaking Benjamin and The Pretty Reckless, fronted by child-star-turned-grunge-princess Taylor Momsen.
No birthday party is complete without plenty of entertainment, and Earthday Birthday has just that. Beyond the three stages for musical acts, the festival switches it up with BMX demos, professional wrestling and a carnival. The Art & Charity Walk zone, presented by Mel’s Bad Girls Club, a Central Florida nonprofit focused on connecting charities with the community, will have fun activities, local artists and charity booths. With Hard Rock Cafe Orlando as a sponsor and plenty of food trucks, there will be no shortage of food and drinks. From its intriguing lineup to its bizarre range of activities, Earthday Birthday may very well be the ultimate Floridian rock celebration, even if it doesn’t really have much to do with the Earth Day beyond the date.
