What Is the Summer Sounds of EPCOT Series?
The “Summer Sounds of EPCOT” series is a limited-time event featuring live performances at the American Gardens Theater, located in the World Showcase. This year, the series kicked off with Command Performance, a band from the United Kingdom Pavilion, performing through July 26. Following their run, Mariachi Cobre, a fan-favorite group, is expected to take the stage through mid-August.
This series is part of EPCOT’s effort to provide entertainment during the slower summer months. While the event is branded as a concert series, it primarily features existing bands from around the park rather than introducing new acts or tribute bands.
Performance Schedule and Details
Command Performance, known for their lively and engaging sets, is the first act in this year’s lineup. Guests can catch their performances multiple times a day at the American Gardens Theater. After July 26, Mariachi Cobre will take over, bringing their signature blend of traditional Mexican music to the stage.
The performances are included with park admission, making it an accessible option for all guests. The theater provides a shaded, open-air venue where visitors can relax and enjoy the music.

Conclusion
The “Summer Sounds of EPCOT” series is a welcome addition to the park’s entertainment lineup, offering guests a chance to enjoy live music in a relaxed and shaded environment.
