You can’t go through summer without taking in at least one concert (concerts are made for summer after all). And at Walt Disney World ® you won’t have to go through summer without experiencing the music that moves you. That’s because Epcot ® is celebrating summer with their annual concert event, Sounds like Summer Concert Series, and the event doesn’t just offer one concert. You’ll get an entire summer lineup that is sure to keep you rocking all summer long!

Each evening from now until July 28, guests to Epcot ® will get the chance to rock out to high-energy performances from some of the world’s greatest tribute bands at the Sounds like Summer Concert Series. That’s right, you can sing and dance along to classic hits from band such as Bon Jovi, Police, Lynyrd Skynyrd, U2 and more. And the bands do such a great job that you’ll have a hard time believing it isn’t the actual artist on stage!

Here is the complete lineup of Epcot’s ® Sounds like Summer Concert Series:

•    July 1 – July 7: Slippery When Wet – The Ultimate Bon Jovi Tribute
•    July 8 – July 14: The Police Experience - A Tribute to the Police
