Do keep in mind that artists are subject to change.
Eat to the Beat concerts take place in the America Gardens Theatre at 5:30 p.m., 6:45 p.m., and 8:00 p.m. The show is included in your theme park admission.
The Eat to the Beat concerts are always a lot of fun, and they are exciting to watch because you can tell the performers are excited to be on stage performing at Walt Disney World. Which artist are you most excited to see?
I used to go to a lot of rock concerts, and the only one where I felt like the crowd was getting out of control and I might actually get hurt was… Everclear. So it’s hard for me to picture them playing the America Gardens Theater to a bunch of Epcot Food & Wine-goers.
The inexorable march of time, I suppose.
Hanson is always great live! Wish I could be there to hear them.
My soul is weeping that I’m missing .38 Special by TEN days! And I get Hanson instead (no offense, early poster)! Sigh.
SOS Band-where you at??? I’m pumped to stay an extra night to see Boys II Men! Wish list is clearly Sheila E.
38 special!
