Bands, Brew and BBQ Concert List for 2025

The Bands, Brew and BBQ Festival is back at SeaWorld this year (at part of their Summer Spectacular period) and we've got a complete concert list for the duration of the festival!  It looks like a pretty great mix of national-level and cover bands again this year.

Concerts will be taking place in the air-conditioned Nautilus Theater every Saturday and Sunday at 6:00pm between Saturday, July 12th and Sunday, August 24th, 2025. Cover or Tribute Bands perform on Saturdays while nationally known original acts are on Sundays.

The Bands, Brew and BBQ concerts are free for guests in the park on Saturdays and Sundays during the festival — but two levels of reserved seating is also available for an additional cost. I'll talk more about that after we look at the list of bands!

General seating is actually pretty great in the Nautilus Theater, it's sloped and pitched well (so you're not totally just looking at the back of soemone else's head) and it's a wide theater – so you can see the stage from just about any seat. The seats are all bench style (with metal backs) – there are no shaped, chair-looking seats in the Nautilus.

Reserved Seating Areas

• There's a "Normal Reserved" area where prices can range from $9.99 to $34.99 per person (plus tax and service fees) depending on which day you want reserved seating for.
• There's also a "Premium Reserved" area where prices can range from $14.99 to $44.99 per person (plus tax and service fees) depending on which day you want reserved seating for.

The Normal Reserved and Premium Reserved areas do not guarantee you a seat – they just grant you access to a special "normal" or "premium" seating area before the concert starts. Meaning – seats in those areas are still on a first come, first seat basis. You'll have to read the instructions carefully on the reservation ticket you receive for either of these areas very carefully – to find out what time you can first gain access to the reserved seating areas and where the "normal" or "premium" seating area entrance point to the theater is.

If you're interested in purchasing reserved seating for any of the concert days — it's best to purchase those online before you go, as some shows will sell out in advance. The official SeaWorld ticket page for those can be found here.
