2016 Epcot Flower & Garden Festival Announces It’s Garden Rocks Concert Series Lineup

The Garden Rocks Concert Series in the America Gardens Theatre is returning once again to liven up the weekends for this year’s 23rd annual Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival! Every Friday, Saturday, & Sunday of the festival, which runs from from March 2-May 30, 2016, there will be live performances from one of 13 different bands featuring pop rock hits from several decades of music, plus an extra final night of performances for the Memorial Day holiday on Monday, May 30th, 2016. It has already been announced that this year’s festival expands from 75 to 90 days, which added two additional concert series weekends to the lineup and extended the festival days to include Memorial Day weekend.

There are 4 all NEW acts added to the 2016 concert lineup – Blood, Sweat & Tears, Brian Howe (the former lead singer of Bad Company), Darlene Love, and the Georgia Satellites. And there’s another musical act making it’s debut at the Garden Rocks series – Night Ranger, a fan-favorite band who has played the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival in the past. The first act to kick off the series will be Orchestra, starring former members of ELO, who topped the charts in the 1970s and ‘80s, from March 4-6.

An eclectic mix of Flower & Garden Festival returning favorites includes the classic pop superstar group Village People, who made their festival debut back in 2013, and the 90’s alternative rock band the Gin Blossoms. With a nod to the 1960s, Herman’s Hermits (starring Peter Noone) will rock the festival from April 1-3. And on Memorial Day, The Spinners will close the 90-day festival on a high note!

Performances will take place at the America Gardens Theatre at 5:30, 6:45 and 8 p.m. every weekend of the Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival and these FREE concerts are included with your regular Epcot park admission!
