Disney has officially dropped the complete concert schedule for the 2026 EPCOT Eat to the Beat series, and music fans heading to the Food & Wine Festival this fall have a lot to be excited about. The lineup runs every single night from August 27 through November 16 at the American Gardens Theatre, and it’s packed with a mix of nostalgic favorites and three artists making their very first EPCOT appearance.
The biggest news from this announcement is the trio of new headliners stepping onto the American Gardens Theatre stage for the first time ever. Country star Lauren Alaina, indie pop favorites Fitz and the Tantrums, and blues rock powerhouse Grace Potter are all making their Eat to the Beat debuts this year, joining a roster that also welcomes newcomers The War and Treaty, Couch, Grupo Manía, Rey Ruiz, Allen Stone, and Big Head Todd and The Monsters.
Of course, plenty of crowd pleasers are returning too. Guests can expect to sing along with Hanson, Yellowcard, Smash Mouth, The Fray, New Found Glory, Bowling for Soup, MercyMe, Tiffany, STARSHIP featuring Mickey Thomas, and the legendary Beach Boys, just to name a few. Boyz II Men also makes a return appearance, taking the stage November 2 and 3. Best of all, every single show is included with regular EPCOT park admission, no extra ticket required.
Since seating is first come, first served, fans who want a guaranteed spot can book the Concert Series Dining Package starting July 16, which pairs a meal at an EPCOT restaurant with a reserved seat at one of that day’s concerts. With the EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival running August 27 through November 21, there’s plenty of time to plan a trip around your favorite act.
