The 2025 Eat to the Beat Concert Lineup

With the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival starting in less than 2 months, the tradition of rocking out while sipping and snacking will return!

The 2025 Eat to the Beat Concert Series has been announced, with many returning artists - pop and rock artists like Starship (ft Mickey Thomas), Hanson, Boyz II Men and TobyMac all are back!

And a handful of artists will be taking the American Pavilion stage for the first time! KT Tunstall, Ben Rector, The Wanted 2.0, Jordin Sparks, Bowling for Soup, and rock and roll legends The Beach Boys will be making their Eat to the Beat debuts this fall!

Each of these performances are including in your Epcot admission, but the lines can be very long to find good seating (in the case of a few artists, to find ANY seating!) so we recommend doing a Festival Concert Series Dining Package. Beginning July 16th, you can reserve great seating and enjoy a delicious meal in one of the many participating Epcot table restaurants (all in the same day of your visit).

With your Dining Package, you can choose from breakfast, lunch or dinner (depending on selected restaurant), giving you an entree and dessert, or buffet meal, plus a non-alcoholic beverage or for guests 21+, a selected alcoholic beverage.

This is available on the dining plan with most restaurants using 1 table service credit while Le Cellier uses 2 table service credits.

Reserving ahead is strongly recommended, but you can do a same-day reservation for a meal and special Eat to the Beat seating at Regal Eagle Smokehouse in the American Pavilion - and it can be used as a quick service credit in your dining plan. These same-day reservations are first come first serve and are for concerts occurring that evening.
