Disney Reveals Full 2026 EPCOT Eat to the Beat Concert Series Lineup

Music, food, and festival magic are ready to take center stage once again at EPCOT as Disney has officially revealed the full 2026 Eat to the Beat Concert Series lineup.

What’s Happening:

• Returning as part of the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, the popular concert series will bring more than two months of live entertainment to the American Gardens Theatre, featuring a mix of returning fan favorites, chart-topping artists, and several performers making their EPCOT debut.

• Running nightly from August 27 through November 16, the Eat to the Beat Concert Series presented by Enterprise has become one of the signature experiences of the Food & Wine Festival, giving guests the opportunity to pair global cuisine with live performances from artists spanning pop, rock, country, R&B, Latin music, and more.
• This year, Disney is introducing several new acts to the festival lineup, including country star Lauren Alaina, indie-pop favorites Fitz and The Tantrums, blues-rock powerhouse Grace Potter, The War and Treaty, Grupo Manía, Allen Stone, Big Head Todd and The Monsters, Rey Ruiz, and Couch.
• While new artists are generating excitement, longtime festival favorites are also returning to the stage. Guests can once again sing along to hits from Hanson, Boyz II Men, Yellowcard, New Found Glory, Tiffany, Smash Mouth, The Fray, STARSHIP featuring Mickey Thomas, Ben Rector, and The Beach Boys throughout the festival's nearly three-month run.

• The lineup continues a tradition that has helped make Eat to the Beat one of Walt Disney World's most popular seasonal entertainment offerings. Unlike many special event concerts, performances are included with regular EPCOT admission, allowing guests to enjoy live music without purchasing a separate ticket.
