It’s official—Eat to the Beat is back at the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, and the 2025 lineup is seriously stacked. Whether you’re in the mood to belt out 2000s hits, sway to soulful ballads, or vibe with some pop-punk energy, this year’s concert series is serving major nostalgia with a side of fresh sounds.

Presented by Florida Blue and cooked up by the always-amazing Disney Live Entertainment team, the series runs from August 28 through November 22, and it’s already shaping up to be a can’t-miss part of the festival.

So, who’s playing this year?

Let’s start with the brand-new names hitting the stage for the first time ever:

  • KT Tunstall, bringing her iconic alt-pop flair
  • Bowling for Soup, delivering pop-punk fun that’s sure to take you right back to 2005
  • Jordin Sparks, bringing powerhouse vocals and major star power
  • Ben Rector, perfect for indie-pop fans.
  • The Wanted 2.0, giving fans of British boy bands something to scream about
  • The Beach Boys, bringing timeless vibes and classic harmonies to the lineup.

Just to name a few. From throwback vibes to current chart-toppers, the concert lineup is truly built for every music taste and generation.

The concerts take place nightly at the America Gardens Theatre, right in front of The American Adventure pavilion. Shows are included with EPCOT admission, which means you can stroll in after snacking your way around the world and cap off your evening with live music under the stars.

Tips for a Great Night at Eat to the Beat:

  • Arrive early: Seats go fast, especially for big names and weekend shows. If there’s someone you’re dying to see, plan to line up well before showtime.

  • Bring snacks and drinks: With over 30 Global Marketplaces, you’ll want to grab your favorites before settling in for the show.

  • Be flexible: A few concert dates are still listed as TBD, so stay tuned to Disney’s official site for the latest updates.

  • Want guaranteed seating? Dining packages are available Friday–Monday, and they come with a reserved badge. Not a must, but helpful if you’ve got your heart set on a prime seat.
