Her shows in September will be her first appearance at the famous theme park resort.
And Disney bosses revealed she'll be among a host of big names taking part, including The Beach Boys, Hanson, Smash Mouth and Boyz II Men.
In a post on the Disney Parks Blog, a spokesperson said: 'We have cooked up a lineup full of flavor and fun for young kids, Gen Z and music lovers of all ages.
'We all know you're looking for the brand-new headliners for this year's event, and we've got some of them right here.
'Drum roll, please - for the first time, KT Tunstall, Bowling for Soup and Jordin Sparks will be performing at the Eat to the Beat concert series.
'From throwback hits to fresh new notes, this year's lineup of genre-bending artists delivers something for every music fan — making each concert unique.'
Edinburgh-born KT will appear at the Epcot theme park on September 5 and 6.
The Suddenly I See singer will perform for fans three times a day at the outdoor America Gardens Theatre Stage.
The shows are part of the park's annual food and wine festival, when tasty treats from across the world are served up.
Entrance to the gigs is included along with the price of a ticket but insiders warn that it's first come first served and seats can fill up fast on the day.

A fan said: 'This is going to be so good. KT is brand new and she is going to be exciting and fun.
'The whole line-up is giving big nostalgia and throwback vibes.'
KT turned 50 last month and marked the milestone with a concert at the Royal Albert Hall in London.
She told how she was hit with depression after she suffered tinnitus and lost her hearing in one ear.
KT has now settled in Santa Fe, New Mexico, after moving there from LA with her partner and their dogs.

Ferne McCann's jailed acid attacker ex dumped by Love Island beauty after eight month romance
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) FERNE McCann's jailed acid attacker ex Arthur Collins has been dumped by ex-Love Island beauty Amelia Peters. Collins, 32 — who is serving 20 years behind bars — contacted the 26-year-old last October after checking out her Instagram profile. 5 Love Island's Amelia Peters has dumped jailed acid attacker Arthur Collins Credit: Instagram 5 Collins contacted the 26-year-old last October after checking out her Instagram profile Credit: PA:Press Association 5 He was dating Towie's Ferne McCann in 2017 when he threw acid in the Mangle E8 club in Dalston Credit: instagram He was said to have wooed her from behind bars - sending Amelia bouquets of flowers and her visiting him in prison regularly. But a friend of the former reality star has told The Sun: "Amelia has called off her romance with Arthur. "Some members of her family only found out about her romance after reading about it in the Sun and urged her to dump him especially after seeing the pictures of him injecting himself with steroids from behind bars." But concerned family members are said to be worried that it's only a matter of time before she gives Collins a second chance. "They've told Amelia he's 'bad news' and she shouldn't put her life on hold for him," they continued. "They are worried Collins has a hold over her. "Amelia has told her family she has dumped him for good but her friends believe it won't be long before she starts seeing him again because of the hold he has over her." The Sun has reached out to Amelia's rep for comment. Just last week The Sun revealed shamed acid attacker Collins' new romance. A source said at the time: 'They talk all the time — despite the fact he's in jail. "He's got a phone they speak on and he's sent her flowers a number of times.' Ferne McCann 'lets slip' THIRD pregnancy news saying 'I'm not done yet' with having kids Possessing a phone in jail is an offence and can lead to a loss of privileges or a longer sentence. Collins got an extra eight months in 2018 for smuggling a phone into jail. His fresh antics emerged after The Sun on Sunday revealed that scheming lag Collins had a 'steroid' injected into his bottom in his cell. He was dating Towie's Ferne McCann in 2017 when he threw acid in the Mangle E8 club in Dalston, East London — leaving 16 people with chemical burns. Collins planned to marry Annie Bull in 2022 after romancing her from his cell. He proposed during a visit, after which she had his name tattooed under her boobs. Amelia, on Love Island in 2017, had fallen under his spell. On his birthday last month, she posted on her Instagram an image of red roses with the letter 'A' above them. She wrote: 'Happy birthday to the most handsome pain in the arse, Love you x.' Our source went on: 'Amelia has made no secret of her relationship with Arthur and has told her friends she's mad about him and thinks he's the one. 'She says she thinks Arthur is a changed man. "Some of her mates are worried about her getting involved with him but Amelia won't listen.' Another source, close to Amelia, tried to downplay talk of a romance and said: 'She's visited Arthur but he is a family friend.' Meanwhile, Collins has been transferred from The Mount Prison in Herts — where the injection footage was taken — amid fears he was scheming to import drugs using drones. An anti-corruption team has found illicit items at his new home, HMP Buckley Hall, near Rochdale. A source said: 'He's in trouble constantly and doesn't seem to care. "He goes around like the big 'I am' as if he rules the roost.' 5 Family members are worried that it's 'only a matter of time before she gives Collins a second chance' Credit: Rex

Senior BBC staff told to 'step back' from duties after Bob Vylan set
In a statement, the broadcaster said there was 'no place for antisemitism' from its output, and that it was taking action to 'ensure proper accountability for those found to be responsible' for live streaming the performance. The broadcaster said it was wrong to believe the punk duo Bob Vylan were 'suitable for live streaming with appropriate mitigations' for their performance at the Glastonbury Festival last week. The BBC added it would make 'immediate changes to livestreaming music events', so that 'any music performances deemed high risk by the BBC will now not be broadcast live or streamed live' in the future. Meanwhile, the corporation's chair, Samir Shah, said the decision not to pull the live feed was 'unquestionably an error of judgement'. (Image: Yui Mok/PA) The statement said: 'During the performance, the live stream was monitored in line with the agreed compliance protocols and a number of issues were escalated. Warnings appeared on the stream on two occasions and the editorial team took the decision not to cut the feed. This was an error. 'Given the failings that have been acknowledged we are taking actions to ensure proper accountability for those found to be responsible for those failings in the live broadcast. We will not comment further on those processes at this time. 'Furthermore, as a result we will make immediate changes to live streaming music events. 'Any music performances deemed high risk will now not be broadcast live or streamed live.' The BBC said the team on duty prioritised stopping the performance from becoming available on demand, meaning that the set would not appear separately on iPlayer or BBC Sounds. However, the live feed remained available for more than four hours, which meant viewers were able to rewind and view the content.
