As a classic rock fan, I am not at all excited about the Eat To The Beat lineup, nothing in the lineup moves me. In the past, we have seen 38 Special, Mickey Thomas (of Starship), Blue Oyster Cult, The Guess Who, Steve Augeri (Journey), Ambrosia… truly great bands with huge catalogues of music. Where are the great Classic Rock bands from past lineups?

AJ and DFB team thank you for information on the Eat to the Beat concerts and dining packages. I had been waiting for this information as we will be visiting 9/1-9/13. Can’t wait!!!!

Do you know why Air Supply is not going to be here?
Thanks

Thanks for the update! Alas, I only see one artist on that list I’d want to see, and she doesn’t interest my husband at all. Guess I really don’t have to worry about the increased ETTB dining package increases after all.

There are other ‘beats’ besides hard rock or hip hop. I’ve only heard of four of these artists and only like maybe one song from each so would not want to endure an entire concert. How cheap is wdw getting to not have big names from a variety of genres to appeal to all different ages!!?? Just another sign that Disney has lost Walt’s vision and is ignoring the very generations who put Disney on the map…..
