In early May, Disney announced its initial lineup of singers and musicians set to perform during the 2023 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival. Although the Food and Wine Festival is one of Disney World’s most popular festivals, the live music is one of its biggest highlights (after the food and drinks!).

The annual Eat to the Beat concert series takes place at the America Gardens Theatre in the American Adventure Pavilion throughout the festival. The concerts are often short sets at 5:30 p.m., 6:45 p.m., and 8:00 p.m. on select dates throughout the festival. This schedule gives Guests multiple opportunities to catch their favorite acts.

Disney has released an updated list of performers. The changes from the list provided in May are bolded below.
