Sounds Like Summer Concert Series Makes July Evenings Nightastic! at Epcot with Music of Rock and Roll Icons The musical sounds of decades of summers gone by will fill July evenings at Epcot during Sounds Like Summer concert series performances featuring tribute bands that celebrate the music of Bon Jovi, The Rolling Stones, Janet Jackson, U2 and Chicago. "The key thing about tribute bands is that their intention is to reproduce, as closely as possible, the music of the artist whose work they are celebrating," explains Senior Show Director Alan Bruun of Walt Disney World Entertainment. "It’s not an impersonation, which mimics the personality and visual aspect of a star, or a cover band that puts their own spin on a song. A tribute band goes for authenticity. Each band that performs as part of the Sounds Like Summer concert series has received written authorization from the band whose music they play." Performances at America Gardens Theatre are scheduled for 5:45, 7 and 8:15 p.m. – except on July 4, when shows are scheduled for 5:15, 6:30, 7:45 and 9 p.m. They are included with Epcot admission. Here’s the schedule (entertainment is subject to change without notice):
June 27-July 3: Karin Lawson - A Tribute to Janet Jackson Sounds Like Summer is part of Walt Disney World "Summer Nightastic!," which also features extra fun after the sun goes down at Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Hollywood Studios: * Through Aug. 14 at Magic Kingdom, thousands of tiny lights illuminate the return of the beloved "Main Street Electrical Parade," and the elaborate new "Summer Nightastic! Fireworks Spectacular" paints the night sky more brightly than ever. * At Disney’s Hollywood Studios, The Twilight Zonetm Tower of Terror adds new effects - and a summer-only drop sequence - to the mix for guests daring to step into the attraction’s infamous service elevator for a ride into the "fifth dimension." And on Hollywood Boulevard, in the shadow of the 122-foot-tall Mickey’s Sorcerer’s Hat icon, guests are invited to the Rock n’ Glow Dance Party, where a DJ and live rock band keep popular tunes coming five nights a week.
