EPCOT Concert Schedule 2025- Lineup, Times

EPCOT is one of Disney’s most adventurous parks and well worth the price of admission to experience all that both World Celebration and World Showcase have to offer. What many people are not aware of is that EPCOT offers FREE (well included with the price of admission) concerts throughout the year that you can attend on your park day.

Disney tries to theme the concerts after the festival that is taking place. There are four festivals throughout the year at EPCOT, so you can almost guarantee that you will have the opportunity to see an amazing performance while you are visiting. 

Keep reading for our full list of the EPCOT concert schedule including lineup and performance times when available.

Seating is first come and will fill up quickly depending on the celebrity narrator. You can read our full review of this experience on securing a seat using a dining package.

Coral Reef Restaurant- The Living Seas

Regal Eagle Smokehouse: Craft Drafts & Barbecue (same-day dining packages only) – American Adventure Pavilion

Regal Eagle Smokehouse is a newer restaurant located in the American Adventure Pavilion and serves up American Barbecue classics from all over the Southeast.

While the burgers, brisket, and chicken are all delicious, the sides are almost as good as the entrees. To choose between onion rings, beans, house-made pickles, coleslaw, macaroni and cheese, or seasoned french fries is almost impossible.

The cheapest option on the dining package list, Regal Eagle only costs $35.00. It is also the only restaurant where you can choose same day dining packages.

EPCOT Dining Package Basics

Guests will receive seating badges at the restaurant after their meal. The badge will specify the date and show time they have reserved.

Guests with dining packages will enter America Gardens Theatre in a separate queue and will be seated on a first-come, first-served basis. Seating is guaranteed.

Dining packages are only available on the days when there are featured concerts, not when the local artists perform.
To enter EPCOT, both a theme park reservation and valid theme park admission are required. EPCOT admission is not included in the price of the dining package.

EPCOT Concert Series Tips

Popular bands tend to have extremely long lines at the EPCOT concerts waiting to grab the best seats between each show. The outdoor theater seats roughly 1,000 people on benches. Get there at least 30 minutes early to line up.

Don’t worry if you don’t get in the theater. You can still view and hear the artists from the American Pavilion pathway or courtyard.

Bands will sometimes change their set for each showing, so you can see the same performer multiple times and get a new experience each time.

No matter which EPCOT concert you attend, you are sure to have a great time! We recommend grabbing a dining package to get the best seats and choose a later concert time when the band is really warmed up, excited, and pumped with the crowd.
