Disney World has unveiled an impressive lineup of musicians scheduled to perform at the theme park in the coming months, stirring emotions among fans who noticed a particularly renowned band featured on the list.
Earlier this week, Disney revealed that The Beach Boys will take the stage as part of the Eat to the Beat Concert Series during the 2025 EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival, marking over sixty years since the iconic rock band first came together.
Running from August through November, the festival offers a variety of special food and drink options throughout the park, along with a series of spectacular musical performances.
The Beach Boys will close out the event, and are set to perform on November 16 and 17 at the America Gardens Theatre in EPCOT.
Other stars on the roster includes a slew of new performers like KT Tunstall, Bowling for Soup, Ben Rector, The Wanted 2.0, and Jordin Sparks, as well as some returnees like *NSYNC alum Joey Fatone, Smash Mouth, Hanson, The Fray, STARSHIP, Hoobastank, and David Archuleta.
The Beach Boys became an iconic and legendary rock band following their rise to fame in the 1960s.
The band was founded by brothers Brian, Dennis, and Carl Wilson, along with their cousin Mike Love, and friend Al Jardine.
Unfortunately, all three brothers have since died, so the performance at Disney’s Epcot will likely be put on by Mike and Al.

The outlet recommends planning ahead to make sure you have a comfortable spot to enjoy the music.
Those who want to ensure they have a good spot can purchase the Concert Series Dining Packages, which offers a ‘delicious meal and guaranteed seats to an Eat to the Beat concert.’
It ranges in price depending on what restaurant you choose from $50 to $99.
It includes ‘an entrée and dessert, or one full buffet (where applicable) – as well as a nonalcoholic or alcoholic beverage’ at ‘most participating restaurants’ as well as ‘one guaranteed seat per person’ at the concert.
However, the packages are only available from Fridays through Mondays and vary in price based on the restaurant, per Walt Disney World.
