Did you know there’s way MORE to the festival than just food and wine? Sure, all the food booths are something to get excited about, but you can also go on a Remy-themed Scavenger hunt, eat your way through a cheese crawl (oh, wait, that IS food), and see some amazing performances by some of your favorite bands? Well, now we know what bands are playing at this year’s festival, and these names are HUGE.
That’s right. The Eat to the Beat Concert Series is returning to this year’s festival. The concerts take place on select nights during the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival at America Garden Theater. Showtimes will take place at 5:30PM, 6:45PM, and 8PM on Fridays through Mondays from July 27th to November 18th, 2023.

Hello. Thanks as always for your up to date information. You are the best. Noticed that Oct 24-26 not listed. Did I miss it? Thanks for your help.
Oops! Sorry just reread . Apparently, no bands Tuesday- Thursday. Sorry about that. So excited about Billy Ocean. Maybe tie to change our flights haha to see him on the 23rd. Thanks again.
Names are huge? Who the heck are 90% of those bands/people?
So, so disappointed that David Cook isn’t at Eat to the Beat this year. Last year was so much fun. 🙁
So disappointed that David Cook is not included in this years Eat to the Best Lineup. Boo. He always puts on a great show and his appearance last year with Kris Allen was a win win.
Wow! There are quite a few on that lineup that I’d love to see!
Last year was my first at the Food & Wine Festival, & I was thrilled to see David Cook (with Kris Allen). Despite the threat of rain, David & Kris put on terrific shows each night. I was really looking forward to seeing David back at Epcot this year (either solo or paired with another singer) & I’m so disappointed that he’s not on the Food & Wine schedule. Please, Disney, bring him back ASAP … he’s a crowd pleaser for sure! Thanks!
Knowing some of Ayron Jones music, kind of surprised that he’s on the schedule. However, hes Gonna be there when I’m there. So I’m pretty happy.
