The EPCOT Food & Wine Festival is an annual celebration of global cuisine in Disney World, and this year’s festival runs from July 27th – November 18th.
Not only can you expect all sorts of food booths and eats, merchandise, and fun experiences, but you’ll also be able to check out the Eat to the Beat concert series and grab a dining package to secure your seat. This year’s concert lineup was announced a while ago, but it looks like more artists have been added!
What’s better than eating your way around the World Showcase?! We know exactly what — listening to some iconic bands and artists while you do it! The Eat to the Beat Concert Series at the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival draws some pretty big crowds, and it looks like new artists have been announced.
Disney has added Orianthi, For King & Country, The Bacon Brothers, Ayron Jones, Phillip Phillips, Raul Acosta and Oro Solido, and We The Kings to this year’s schedule! You can check out the full list and dates for these performances below.
These concerts are free with EPCOT admission and typically take place three times nightly through the festival.

Be careful when booking these Eat to the Beat dining packages. We were cheated twice – once in Biergarten and then in Rose and Crown where they charged us extra for the show ticket on top of the price of the meal.
