Rick Springfield, yay! This is one of my favorite times of year. That is not just because I love the holidays, it is also when preliminary information is released for the Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival. The first wave of Garden Rocks artists has been released, and I could not be happier!
There are several new to Epcot artists this year, including Peabo Bryson and Daughtry. Returning favorites include Air Supply, Blood, Sweat & Tears, and Rick Springfield (yay!). Some artists who you might have seen at an Eat to the Beat Concert will be stopping by for the first time in the spring. One of these artists is country superstar Mark Wills, who hinted about returning in the spring when he performed at the Food & Wine Festival this past September.
Weather permitting, there will be three shows each evening, and they are included with your Epcot admission. Artists can and sometimes do change. There are plenty of holes in the current list, so I’ll update it when more artists are announced.
