alt Disney World has announced its lineup for its annual Christian music concert series Night of Joy, which will be held Sept. 11-12 at Disney's Hollywood Studios.

Artists will include Chris Tomlin, P.O.D., Newsboys, Needtobreathe, Leeland and Superchick on Friday evening and MercyMe, Flyleaf, Skillet, Jars of Clay, Family Force 5, Grits and Mandisa on Saturday evening. Concerts will run from 7:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. each evening.

 

Last year, for the first time since it began at the Magic Kingdom in 1983, Disney moved the event to its Hollywood Studios, which holds some of the company's more teen-oriented attractions, such as The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, The Rock 'n Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith and the new American Idol Experience. Following that move, the overall lineup for this year continues to be more geared to teens as well, leaning more in the rock vein, while still providing some accessibility for families and older listeners.

 

During the same weekend, Universal Studios Florida also holds its annual Rock the Universe weekend event. The lineup has not yet been announced.
