There has been an update to the Eat to the Beat Concert Series lineup. This concert series is part of the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival entertainment lineup. Throughout this festival, the American Gardens Theatre stage comes to life with an incredible lineup of performers. There is a range of genres that are represented during these performances. They make a great endcap to a day of enjoying the other offerings of the Food & Wine Festival.
When the lineup for this year’s Eat to the Beat Concert Series was originally announced, the Beach Boys were scheduled to perform in November. This, however, has been updated. John Stamos and the California Sound will instead be taking their place. John Stamos was originally set to perform with the Beach Boys, so there will be a little continuity of performers. These performances will take place on November 11–12, 2026.
