Eat to the Beat 2025: EPCOT Concert Highlights

Archive reviewed October 13, 2026. The 2025 concert season has ended. This article preserves highlights from that year’s announcement; its dates and dining offers are not available to book now. For a future trip, check the schedule for your actual travel dates.

Eat to the Beat pairs live music with EPCOT’s International Food & Wine Festival. It can be a fun evening break after touring the park, but choosing a favorite performer should come before choosing a dining package.

Who performed at Eat to the Beat in 2025?

Disney’s published 2025 lineup included these highlights:

• Joey Fatone & Friends: August 29–30
• KT Tunstall: September 5–6
• Hanson: October 17–20
• Boyz II Men: November 2–3
• Jordin Sparks: November 9–10
• Bowling for Soup: November 14–15

This is a selection, not the complete lineup. See Disney’s 2025 Food & Wine Festival announcement for its historical schedule. Past appearances do not confirm a return in another year.

Where are the concerts, and is admission included?

The concerts take place at the America Gardens Theatre in EPCOT’s World Showcase, across from The American Adventure. Concert admission is included with EPCOT admission, but that does not guarantee a seat. General seating is first come, first served.

Do not use last year’s performance times to plan your evening. Check the current Eat to the Beat schedule and the My Disney Experience app for your visit. Allow time to walk to the theater and join the appropriate line.

Does a dining package guarantee a concert seat?

An eligible Eat to the Beat dining package includes a meal and a guaranteed seat for a selected performance that same day. It does not guarantee a particular seat or a front-row view. Package guests should follow the arrival instructions supplied with their booking; seating within the package area is first come, first served.

A regular restaurant reservation is not automatically a concert dining package. Confirm the package name, performance, restaurant, meal inclusions and total price before booking. Park admission is separate. See Disney’s current package details; participating restaurants and availability can change.

Do not assume alcoholic drinks, gratuity or every menu item are included. Compare the package terms with the meal you would otherwise buy. Our Disney Dining Guide explains reservations and meal planning for first-time visitors.

How should you plan a future EPCOT concert visit?

1. Choose travel dates, then confirm whether a festival and concert are scheduled.
2. Check the artist and performance for your actual park day.
3. Decide whether you prefer general seating or an available dining package.
4. Build in walking time, dining time and a backup plan for schedule changes.
