Jazz legend Kenny G is one of 11 new artists coming to Epcot’s Eat to the Beat concert series.
Pop superstars 10,000 Maniacs, Baha Men, and Squeeze are also new to the series that draws crowds to the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival. The longest festival ever at 75 days includes 27 concert acts with three daily performances.
Bands from the 80s, 90s, and beyond take the stage at the American Gardens Theater in the American Adventure Pavilion in Epcot to share their greatest hits with shows at 5:30 p.m., 6:45 p.m., and 8 p.m.
Taylor Dayne, Christopher Cross, .38 Special, Sister Hazel, and Billy Ocean are just some of the returning favorites. The festival runs from Aug. 31 through Nov. 13.
