The 2026 Garden Rocks Concert Series is officially returning to EPCOT at Walt Disney World, bringing a high-energy soundtrack to the most beautiful and best smelling festival of the year.
There’s nothing quite like grabbing a snack in World Showcase and heading over to the America Gardens Theatre (right across from the American Adventure pavilion) to catch a live show. This year’s lineup for 2026 is looking solid, with a mix of nostalgia and some fresh faces.

The Secret to the Best Seats: Dining Packages
Look, the standby line for these shows can get long, especially for acts like Simple Plan or 98 Degrees. If you don't want to spend two hours of your park day sitting on a hot pavement waiting for a seat, the Dining Package is the way to go.
How it works:Â You book a meal at a participating EPCOT restaurant, and in return, you get a badge for guaranteed seating at a specific showtime that night. It usually includes an appetizer, entree, and dessert (or a full buffet), plus a non-alcoholic drink.
Here’s where you can eat this year:
Biergarten Restaurant (Germany): Always a blast with the live polka band.
Chefs de France (France): Great for people-watching.
Coral Reef Restaurant (The Living Seas): You get to dine right next to the sharks.
Garden Grill Restaurant (The Land): Character dining with Chip 'n' Dale!
Le Cellier Steakhouse (Canada): My personal pick if you want a high-end meal.
Rose & Crown Dining Room (United Kingdom): Classic pub vibes.
Spice Road Table (Morocco): This one is a bit different—it’s usually a Mediterranean small-plates setup.
Regal Eagle Smokehouse (American Adventure): This is the "budget" option. It’s a walk-up, same-day-only package, so no reservations are needed.
