The concert took place in the Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster courtyard. A temporary stage was set up in front of the building alongside a DJ van.

Statler and Waldorf appeared on screens to complain about attending the event. Some chickens then appeared on stage. Scooter shooed them away and introduced The Electric Mayhem.

The band opened the show with “Born to be Wild,” one of the songs that plays during the ride. Fireworks went off behind the building. The band then took a break to go ride Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster. Rizzo and friends, dressed as The Electric Mayhem, stopped by.

The band returned and performed “Song 2,” another track from the ride.

During another break, Pepe the King Prawn and Bean Bunny appeared to requested songs from the DJ.

When the band returned, they called out Darren Criss and Yvette Nicole Brown in the crowd. Criss and Brown also appeared in Muppets Haunted Mansion and in the ride’s queue. Then Stamos joined the band on the bongos.

They played a few riffs, arguing about what song to play next. Joe the Legal Weasel then showed up on screen to tell guests they could not dance due to a safety agreement. Stamos and the Mayhem then left for snacks.
