The website says Nightly from March 4 to June 1, 2026, and they released the “FULL” lineup, but it’s missing 3 nights a week. Are they going to have local bands fill in like the other Festivals? And if so, when are they going to release it?
Queensryche?!
Information society?
Those are great bands. Wish I would hit the lottery and move to Florida.
we were planning our next trip (birthday trip for our soon to be 10 year old daughter and our almost teen son) and looked at the week AFTER spring break, then after school was out in May (I’m a teacher), and then I saw the concert line-up for May 17th (my birthday). My daughter (9) loves Josiah Queen so when I told her and my wife about him, my wife said “We’re going the week of May 12th to the 18th!” My daughter has been wanting to see him in concert recently and now she’ll have her chance (we are celebrating her and her brother’s birthday also so it’s a present for her (and a very expensive Josiah Queen concert).
Aww, that’s so sweet! I hope she enjoys the concert!
Herman’s Hermits!!
Where can I reserve the resto for reserved seating please?
Hi, Lois! Seating can be reserved by booking a Garden Rocks Dining Package, which can be done either through the Walt Disney World website or the My Disney Experience app. (You can search “Garden Rocks Dining Package” in either one, and it should lead you to a page with a button that says “Check Availability,” and that will get you started on the process for booking the date you want :). Another option is to call Disney World Dining at (407) 939-3463 and they can help you there as well, if you prefer.
I hope you have a great time! (I remember the song “I’m Henry the VIII, I am” by Herman’s Hermits :)!
