Walt Disney World Updates 2023 ‘Eat to the Beat’ Concert Series Schedule

The 2023 edition of the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival presented by CORKCICLE will run July 27 through November 18, and Walt Disney World has updated the “Eat to the Beat” Concert line-up for this year’s festival.

For reasons unknown, The Bacon Brothers, comprised of actor Kevin Bacon and his brother, are no longer scheduled for August 13 and 14, and as of this post, Disney has not found a replacement. UPDATE: The Fray have been booked for August 13-14.

There is also an open slot on September 18. UPDATE: Bacilos has been booked for September 18.

Plus, towards the end of September, some dates have been extended for certain artists.

And in addition to the nationally recognized headliner acts scheduled for Friday through Monday, the “Eat to the Beat” concert line-up has been filled in with local bands playing on Tuesdays through Thursdays (I highly recommend checking out Audio Exchange in September!).

About the Concerts

“Eat to the Beat” concert performances will be at at 5:30pm, 6:45pm, and 8pm each day in the American Gardens Theater, though that is subject to change.

The concerts are included with park admission, but guests can guarantee a seat with an “Eat to the Beat” Dining Package, which includes a meal and a seat for one of that day’s performances.

The EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival also offers Global Kitchens throughout the park offering up delicious food and drink samples, which are available for an additional fee.

A valid park admission and a park reservtion for the same day are required to enter EPCOT.
