Here's Who's Performing at EPCOT's Eat to the Beat Concert Series in 2026
The EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival is bringing back its nightly concert series, and the 2026 lineup runs from August 27 through November 16. Shows happen every night at the American Gardens Theatre (located at the front of The American Adventure pavilion, right on World Showcase Lagoon between Japan and Italy), and here's what you're getting this year.
The Lineup
There's a solid mix of returning acts and new names making their EPCOT debut. You'll find country, rock, pop, Latin, and R&B across the schedule. Some of the bigger names include Boyz II Men, The Beach Boys, Lauren Alaina (new), Fitz and the Tantrums (new), Grace Potter (new), The Fray, and Smash Mouth. There are also local and regional acts mixed throughout.
Each night typically features multiple show times, so you've got flexibility on when you want to catch a performance.
How to Get In
Admission to the concerts is included with your valid EPCOT park ticket. Seating is first-come, first-served, which means you'll want to arrive early if you want a good spot.
If you'd rather not gamble on getting a good seat, you can purchase a Concert Series Dining Package starting July 16. This includes a meal at an EPCOT restaurant plus a guaranteed reserved seat at your chosen concert that same day. Keep in mind that even with the dining package, you'll still want to get to the theatre early within your reserved section to snag the best view.
What to Eat While You're There
The festival has over 30 food marketplaces spread throughout the park, so you can grab something to eat and bring it to the show. There's everything from standard festival fare to kid-friendly and plant-based options.
The full Food & Wine Festival runs through November 21, so you'll have plenty of time to explore both the concerts and all the food offerings.
