How does the concert work? Is it a separate ticket to get into the show? Is the only way to see it to get a dining reservation like Eat to the beat?
WHY is Rick Springfield there the week after I am! Doesn’t he KNOW he needs to be there when I am?!?!
Oh man! :'(
My lifelong dream was to see Rick Springfield. Finally, in 2009 he came to Newfoundland, Canada…just after I had given birth to my son, so I couldn’t go. I was sooo upset. Now, he’s going to be at Epcot in October, but we had a family vacation to Disney this past May. Am I EVER going to get to see Rick Springfield?!
As a passholder, ANY live concert is a plus to the greatest entertainment bargain on the planet , but slightly saddened to not see The Orchestra or Alan Parsons project this time, but I’ll put on my big boy pants and enjoy perhaps the best sound system and easy access great seats to some of these iconic performers..
Chaka Khan’s name IS spelled right in the headline to this article.
Unless I can’t read the post about getting Chaka Khan’s name right is puzzling. The headline spells her name “Chaka Khan” and the post states that the spelling of her name is “Chaka Khan”. Is there a difference there that I can’t see or discern?
Agree w/ Peter, Three Dog Night would make my year!
Cannot wait to see Rick Springfield!!!
Too Bad….they could have booked Three Dog Night. They are in FL during early November. Since Epcot draws an older crowd, it would have been nice.
Great line up. My favs are Rick Springfield, The Pontier Sisters, Star Ship & Air supply.
Please… please…change the dates from year to year… I have to go the same weekend because of work and I always get Big Voo Doo Daddy! They are good – but I go every year and I would like to see a new artist!!!! Whay doesn’t anyone at Disney think of this??
Super excited to Christopher Cross and Fuel back on the list. Even more excited to see Tiffany and Everclear added
hopefully we can come see a band this year
Sugar Ray is da man!!!!!! He is honestly one of my favorites of food and wine and I am so happy he is returning!!
Hi there! So excited about all the concerts but can we get Ms. Chaka Khan’s name spelled correctly on the headline of this post? Just in case she sees it!
Saw Dennis DeYoung last year…can’t wait to see him again this year! Fantastic! Sad not to see Night Ranger back this year, maybe next year.
The Epcot Food and Wine festival musical acts always seems very dated to me. That doesn’t mean the performers aren’t good but how about some up and coming acts or more current Top 40 acts? Can’t say I’m too excited about this line-up.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Been waiting for this list since November! 😉 So excited to see David Cook get three nights and can’t wait to see Sugar Ray again!
Could I register a small complaint here? I am running the Wine and Dine Half Marathon for the 6th time this year, and (if my memory serves me correctly) this is the 6th time that the same band has played marathon weekend. Could you PLEASE mix it up a bit? I can only go to EPCOT once a year and, as much as I look forward to Food and Wine Fest, I’m saddened that the same band is playing yet again. I’m running 13.1 miles (for charity, no less)…would it be too much to ask to be serenaded by Rick Springfield afterwards?
Nice lineup!
Chaka Khan, Rick Springfield, and Big Bad VooDoo Daddy are my top picks.
