Exciting New Bands Announced for EPCOT’s Eat to the Beat

“Let’s Get Ready to Rock” with EPCOT’s Eat to the Beat concert series. See which new band we are most excited about.

EPCOT Food & Wine Festival

The EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival runs from August 28 to November 22, 2025, and the Eat to the Beat Concert Series will take place nightly.  

Local bands will take the stage Tuesday through Thursday, and bigger bands will take the stage Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. No matter which day you visit EPCOT, you can enjoy delicious eats and fun beats all week long!

Eat to the Beat Concerts take place at the America Gardens Theatre stage in EPCOT, located directly across from The American Adventure pavilion.  

Eat to the Beat 2025 Lineup

This year, there are a few of our favorites returning, such as Joey Fatone & Friends, MercyMe, and Boyz II Men. There are also several new artists announced for this year, such as KT Tunstall, Ben Rector, The Wanted 2.0, Jordin Sparks, and Bowling for Soup.

The newest band to be added that I (Donna) am most excited for is the Beach Boys. My dad loves them, and so many of my family road trips featured their songs on repeat. We also have a hidden hope that John Stamos (who is a huge Disney fan) may join them for this concert.
