2026 Food & Wine Eat to the Beat Concert Lineup + EPCOT Crowd Levels

Disney has announced all of the acts coming to EPCOT’s Food & Wine Festival Concert Series, Eat to the Beat. To help you plan your visit, we’ve put together a calendar showing the musical acts & our crowd calendar forecasts. Scroll on down to skip the basics and get right to the calendar views.

The Basics

EPCOT’s Food & Wine Festival will take place August 27 to November 21, 2026. The Eat to the Beat concert series is an included performance that runs most nights of the Food & Wine Festival.

• Three concerts each night August 27 to November 16
  • No performances November 17 to November 21 since the stage will need to transition for the Candlelight Processional / Festival of the Holidays.
• Showtimes: Each act will perform three times on each day they are scheduled.
  • 5:30pm
  • 6:45pm
  • 8:00pm
• Location: All performances are held in the American Gardens Theatre in the American pavilion in World Showcase.
• There are 33 bands, 9 of them are new to the EPCOT festival schedule.

There are two ways to get a seat for a show. One is to use the standby queue that forms to the right of the stage if you’re looking at the theater. Lines begin to form anywhere from an hour to many hours before showtimes. We can promise that the Boyz II Men performances in November will have guests lining up as early as 11:00am for the 5:30pm show. Guests in the standby line will be admitted to the theater after the dining package guests.

The second, and only guaranteed way to get a seat, is to purchase a dining package for the date and time of the show you’re after. Dining packages go on sale July 16, 2026.
