Disney releases concert lineup for Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival

Even Mickey Mouse likes to rock out.

Disney World has released the concert lineup for this year’s Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival. The Garden Rocks concerts, which are included in regular theme park admission, run on select nights throughout the popular festival, from March 4 to June 1.

“Get ready to jam along to live music at the Garden Rocks Concert Series in America Gardens Theatre, returning with an incredible mix of chart-topping artists and Orlando’s blossoming local talent,” Disney said on its parks blog. “With performances every weekend, there’s always something new to enjoy.”

The acts include members from Electric Light Orchestra, Rick Springfield of “Jesse’s Girl” fame, Billy Ocean, and A Flock of Seagulls. Millennials will also remember Sugar Ray, Simple Plan and boy band 98 Degrees.

The concerts are free, although Disney also sells dining packages that give guaranteed seating to the shows.

Besides the music, the 2026 EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival also features outdoor kitchens selling garden-themed dishes. Disney teased that the menu will be released at a later date.

Another highlight? Disney’s beloved topiaries that pay homage to famous Disney movie characters.

“More than 60 topiaries from classic Disney favorites will be blooming across the park while over 31 gardens and floral displays will offer opportunities to explore, relax, and enjoy the stunning horticulture Disney is known for,” Disney said on a parks blog.

Festivals with special cuisine and live entertainment are becoming big draws to bring tourists and locals out to Orlando’s major theme parks.

Universal Orlando and SeaWorld Orlando also hold annual festivals that get expanded each year.

The concert lineup this year at Universal Mardi Gras: International Flavors of Carnaval includes Zedd, Bebe Rexha, Barenaked Ladies, and The All-American Rejects. Meanwhile, SeaWorld’s Seven Seas Food Festival brings out Gene Simmons, the Beach Boys, Flo Rida, Fitz and the Tantrums, the Fray, and Boyz II Men.
