Due to its impressive number of entertainment facilities – Magic Kingdom, Universal Orlando Resort, Holy Land Experience, Blizzard Beach, Orlando is a favorite with families and children. But many people tend to underestimate Orlando’s role on the American music scene. Fans of reggaeton, metal or hip-hop could spend weeks in Orlando, exploring its music clubs and attending some of its hot gigs. For electro music lovers, Orlando is the Mecca of breakbeat.

From mainstream to underground music genres, this article is aiming at presenting the most popular music clubs in Florida’s entertainment capital.
