‘Garden Rocks,’ EPCOT’s popular summer concert series, got its new name for 2015 and it is here to stay. Pop stars spanning a broader range of decades including the ’60s, ’70s, ’80s, ’90s, and ’00s will rock the open-air America Gardens Theatre during the EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival.
The fan-favorite Garden Rocks Concert Series will once again be taking place as part of the EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival! This year, there will be a little twist. While there will be concerts that take place every day at the America Gardens Theatre, local Orlando bands will perform Tuesdays-Thursdays and well known recording artists will perform Fridays-Mondays.
The following is the 2023 Garden Rocks Concert Series line up. The 2024 concert line up will be posted when released.
