2025 Eat to the Beat Concert Lineup and Dining Packages

In the cool of the evening when everything is getting kind of groovy, you can enjoy an Eat to the Beat concert from August 28 to November 22, 2025, at this year’s EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival! Who can you see? Can you guarantee a seat? Do you need to? This year’s lineup of concert performances and dining package information is below. Dining packages can be booked beginning on July 16, 2025.

What is the Eat to the Beat Concert Series?

Each fall, the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival at Disney World brings a global culinary celebration to the parks. Like all EPCOT Festivals, Food & Wine features free daily performances on the America Gardens Theater stage. The Food & Wine Festival Concert Series is called Eat to the Beat and features popular musical artists on the weekends, mixed with local acts during the week.

Eat to the Beat concerts are free, but the wait for standby seating can take time; for popular acts the line begins forming over an hour in advance. To guarantee a seat, you can book an Eat to the Beat Dining Package at an EPCOT restaurant. If you’re trying for standby seating and you don’t get in, you can still enjoy the music from nearby areas outside the theater.

Eat to the Beat concerts have three performances a day, at 5:30 pm, 6:45 pm, and 8:00 pm at the America Gardens Theater. Valid admission for EPCOT is needed to attend a showing, as well as a park reservation if your ticket requires one. This year’s lineup of performers is below.

Eat to the Beat Dining Package Details

There are 15 restaurants at EPCOT offering Eat to the Beat Dining Packages. All but one are Table Service and require advance reservations for Dining Packages. Packages include a guaranteed seat to the Eat to the Beat concert on the same day; you’ll be asked to select the time of the reserved showing when making your reservation. On the day of your visit, you’ll receive a badge with the day and time of your reserved seating when your meal is complete.

Prices do not include admission to EPCOT, and a separate theme park reservation is needed if your ticket requires it. Compared to the cost of the meal alone, the extra cost to book the dining package is typically about $20 per adult and $10 per child.

You can use Disney Dining Plan credits to pay for the Eat to the Beat Dining Package. Your confirmation email will include the number of credits needed. In 2025, this is usually the same number of credits as a non-package meal at the same restaurant.
