Concert Report: MegaCon After Party (ICON Park)

Taking place annually on the Saturday night of MegaCon weekend, the official MegaCon After Party was on last night at ICON Park on International Drive. This year's party theme was "Altered Identity".
ICON Park is the grassy area in front of the Orlando Eye observation wheel.
DJ Elliot (USA) running the opening set from 8PM to 10PM.
Including party standards such as the Cha Cha Slide.
And The Cupid Shuffle!
There were drum circles!
And Breakdance circles!
Mostly Top 40 but lots of EDM as well, yea!
DJ Elliot getting the crowd psyched-up!
The MegaCon After Party celebrated its 10th Anniversary last night and they brought back some of the main characters from each year!
Currently named ICON Orlando, it was previously called the Coca-Cola Orlando Eye and the Orlando Eye prior to that.
Taking over the controls at 10PM, DJ Daggett (USA) was up next!
Daggett was decked-out in a space suit!
The venue was packed, with hundreds more non-paying tourists looking-on from outside the perimeter gates.
Of course this was a cosplay event so there were hundreds of costumes too. Here's a few of my favorites.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
You can never go wrong with Go Go girls!
Like I said!
DJ Evolv3 (USA) getting ready to take over at midnight!
And he would continue the theme of mostly Top 40 with a lot of EDM. He told me he's been working on this set for more than a month!
The crowd was stoked!
Packed to the rafters on this beautiful Orlando night!
Spotted among the masses: DJ Vitamin C (USA) & DJ Pedro Vazquez (USA).
Evolv3's DJ Marshmello-esqe helmet had morphed into the Joker!
And it looked amazing in the dark!
Everyone was dancing and carrying-on!
Besides a lot of restaurants and gift shops, ICON Orlando is also home to Madame Tuuaud's Wax Museum and the Sea Life Aquarium. And there is a free parking garage.
Did I mention you can never go wrong with Go Go girls?
As 2AM approached, still packed!
Some of the vehicles from Universal Studios on hand. Scooby Doo!
Ghostbusters!
Jurassic Park!
Wow, what a night!
A good time was had by all!
