EPCOT is turning the volume up this fall. The park has dropped the full Eat to the Beat concert lineup for this year’s International Food & Wine Festival, and it is leaning hard into pop punk, classic rock and modern indie. New Found Glory, Bowling For Soup, The Beach Boys, Boyz II Men, and Grace Potter are all on the bill, with nightly sets slated for the American Gardens Theatre.
Full Schedule and Festival Dates
Disney published the full Eat to the Beat schedule on June 17. According to Disney Parks Blog, the concert listings run through Nov. 16. The broader EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival runs Aug. 27 to Nov. 21, 2026, per the Walt Disney World entertainment page.
Lineup Highlights
The roster blends nostalgia acts with more recent radio staples. Standouts in the published schedule include New Found Glory (Sept. 28–29), The Fray (Oct. 12–13), Grace Potter (Nov. 9–10), The Beach Boys (Nov. 11–12), Hanson (Aug. 28–31) and Boyz II Men (Nov. 2–3), with several performers booked for back‑to‑back nights. Full dates and the complete list are detailed by Orlando Weekly.
How to Get a Seat
Admission to Eat to the Beat concerts is included with a valid EPCOT park ticket, and seating is first-come, first-served, Disney notes. For guaranteed seats, Disney offers a Concert Series Dining Package that pairs a meal with reserved seating on select dates. Dining package reservations open July 16, according to Disney Parks Blog.
Why Orlando Fans Should Care
The American Gardens Theatre is an intimate outdoor venue that fills up quickly, which makes Eat to the Beat a low‑effort evening upgrade for Food & Wine festivalgoers. Local coverage points to the festival as a fall draw for visitors and residents alike, and notes that the concerts are included with park admission, details reported by FOX 35 Orlando.
Disney will post any schedule updates and dining package information as the festival approaches, so fans should keep an eye on official event pages for changes and reservations. Full details and the concert calendar are available on the Walt Disney World entertainment page for Eat to the Beat (Walt Disney World).
