Rocker Bret Michaels is set to ring in the new year with a live performance at Universal Studios Orlando!

The Poison frontman and reality television star is scheduled perform a live New Year’s Eve concert at Universal’s CityWalk in Orlando, FL, part of the Universal Orlando Resort.

Tickets are now on sale for the New Year’s Eve block party event, which includes the Bret Michaels concert, as well as all-night admission to seven CityWalk clubs, all-you-can-eat gourmet cuisine, and a midnight champagne toast.

Universal CityWalk’s New Year’s Eve celebration will take place from 8pm – 2am on December 31, 2010. Tickets are $119.99 plus tax per person if purchased by Dec. 27; from Dec. 28 to Dec. 31, the price increases to $139.99 plus tax per person. Special discounts are available for Universal Orlando Annual Passholders.

Aside from being a multi-platinum recording artist, playing concerts around the world, Michaels gained TV stardom with the VH1 reality series Rock of Love, and is currently appearing along with his family in the network’s show Bret Michaels: Life as I Know It. The long-haired bandanna-wearing singer also won the third season of Donald Trump’s NBC series Celebrity Apprentice.

I’ve been to CityWalk events and live concerts at Universal and I can tell you, it’s a great place to be, especially for a New Year’s Eve celebration. Plus, if you’re a fan of Poison or Bret Michaels (like me), you won’t be disappointed, as Michael’s always puts on a great show. For those of you unsure whether you even know his music, trust me, you do. Any of these sound familiar — “Every Rose Has Its Thorn,” “Talk Dirty to Me,” “Nothing but a Good Time”? That’s all Brett with Poison.

I’m guessing this event will sell out, so I’d suggest grabbing those tickets now if you want to go. If you’re coming in from outside the Orlando area, be sure to secure your hotel right away also. Again, I’ve been in Orlando theme parks for New Year’s Eve, so I know that it’s possible to make this trip semi-last minute like this, but you don’t want too long!
