We all know guests are looking for the brand-new headliners for this year’s event, and we’ve got some of them right here. Drum roll, please…. for the first time, KT Tunstall, Bowling for Soup and Jordin Sparks will be performing at the Eat to the Beat Concert Series! 

In addition, some of guests' favorite musical groups from prior years are returning for more sound-sational fun, including Joey Fatone & Friends, Hanson and Boyz II Men. From throwback hits to fresh new notes, this year’s lineup of genre-bending artists delivers something for every music fan — making each concert unique. 

With more updates still to come, check out the schedule below for a breakdown of the acts for 2025 and what dates they’ll hit the stage, with the final list coming soon: 

Located at the America Gardens Theatre stage in EPCOT (in between Italy and Japan), guests can check out the wide range of musical acts at the stage located directly across from The American Adventure pavilion.  

From Smash Mouth to David Archuleta, there have been plenty of iconic groups and rockstar solo artists to perform on this hallowed stage, and we can’t wait to see this next lineup wow audiences during each performance. 

Seating during each musical act is first-come, first-served, and often fills up very quickly, so guests should make sure to plan ahead and make it a priority on their visit to the Food & Wine Festival. 

When guests purchase the Festival Concert Series Dining Package this year, they can enjoy the following choices:  

After they've devoured their delicious meal, guests will receive a reserved seating badge for one of the Festival Concert Series performances that same day.  

The reserved seating is in the second section in the middle of the America Gardens Theatre. While seating is guaranteed, it’s on a first-come, first-served basis within that section, so arriving early is still recommended for the best view. 

For All Future Concert-Goers: Please note that specific offerings may vary by restaurant. For example, at Spice Road Table, the meal includes two small plates, a shared dessert platter and a beverage. Prices for the dining package vary by restaurant and mealtime.  

Guests can make reservations through the My Disney Experience app or the official Walt Disney World website. 

Yes! Whether or not guests' favorite genre is rock, pop or alternative, admission is complimentary to see their favorite act and is included with EPCOT park entry. They simply select their seat and get ready to have a great night full of music. 

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.  

Over 30 Global Marketplaces will be located all over the park during the Food & Wine Festival, featuring plenty of kid-friendly and plant-based options for all types of appetites. For more delicious details and a full list of all the menus coming to the festival, stay tuned for the upcoming EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival Foodie Guide.

EPCOT has endless opportunities to enjoy eats, entertainment and character experiences throughout the park. Whether guests are exploring the diverse array of offerings in World Showcase, taking off on an intergalactic chase with Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind or ending the evening with the sparkling spectacle “Luminous The Symphony of Us,” there is always something to see.   

And the beat keeps rolling throughout the resort. Walt Disney World is rocking all year long, with the debut of the “Disney Starlight” nighttime parade in Magic Kingdom, the new GEO-82 lounge in EPCOT, the return of Test Track presented by General Motors and special offers throughout the resort.
