\"\"<\/a>Universal Orlando Resort is preparing for its 14th annual Rock The Universe festival this weekend where fans can expect to see yet another quality lineup of Christian music\u2019s finest bands.<\/p>\n

On Friday, September 9th, the event will be headlined with Switchfoot and David Crowder Band along with supporting acts Anberlin, Grits, Family Force 5, Rhema Soul and Hyland. On Saturday, September 10th, Rock The Universe will welcome Casting Crowns, Third Day and Relient K, along with Red, Tenth Ave North, Brandon Heath and Live Fish.<\/p>\n

For Casting Crowns lead singer Mark Hall, it\u2019s yet another opportunity to connect with the people that his band is blessed to impact nationwide.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s pretty humbling to see that God\u2019s letting us be a part of what He\u2019s doing in somebody\u2019s life,\u201d Hall says. \u201cThat\u2019s pretty awesome.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to the music, there will be a brand new \u201cFan Zone\u201d for this year\u2019s festival, a nightly candle lighting service (featuring Casting Crowns on Saturday), plus three Sunday morning worship services on September 11, featuring speaker Jeff Pratt and worship from the Seth Medley Band.<\/p>\n
