ORLANDO, Fla. – Tens of thousands will head to Camping World Stadium to see The Rolling Stones on Monday night.
Camping World Stadium estimates at least 42,000 people will attend the concert — but they expect that number to be higher.
The concert not only brought people in from across Florida, but all over the county and even the world.
Michael, who is visiting from Poland, said there are many reasons why he picked the Orlando date to attend the Rolling Stones 2024 Hackney Diamonds tour.

“We like Florida. We have been to Miami. We are going to St. Augustine,” Michael said. “This is also why we are here, but the main reason is the Rolling Stones concert.”
Chief Venues Officer Allen Johnson with the city of Orlando said he’s excited that Orlando is the only city in Florida where the Rolling Stones will play on their 2024 tour.
He said Monday’s concert is estimated to bring in $22 million to the local economy.
“You can do so much in Orlando that you can’t in other places,” Johnson said. “So that’s why I think it’s attractive. It’s the middle of the state, easy to get to our airport, it’s world-class, our hotels are world-class, our attractions, so it’s something to do.”
While the event is bringing in plenty of visitors from out of town, Central Floridians are thrilled to have the Rolling Stones in their backyard.
“I’ve been to many Rolling Stones concerts. I just live down the street. I just walk right over here. It’s fantastic,” said Orlando resident Lance Shaver.
Camping World Stadium said Stadium Parking is sold out for Monday night’s show. If you plan to attend, they said the best way to get to the stadium is to use the free shuttle departing from Central Avenue underneath Interstate 4.
