The Band Perry to Headline Music City July 4th Celebration

Republic Nashville’s Platinum-selling family trio, The Band Perry, will headline one of the city’s signature events this summer – “Music City July 4th: Let Freedom Sing!” – at The Lawn at Riverfront Park, the Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp (NCVC) announced today.

The show line-up will also include GRAMMY®-winning blues musician Keb’ Mo’ and the GRAMMY®-winning Nashville Symphony Orchestra. The July 4th event will feature live music and family activities throughout the afternoon and evening, and the headlining concert will be followed by one of the nation’s best fireworks displays choreographed to live music.

“Nashville is known for having one of the best Fourth of July celebrations in the country,” said Butch Spyridon, president and CEO of the NCVC. “The event has become a major draw for visitors, with more than 150,000 people enjoying the show last year on the lawn. The Band Perry’s recent chart-topping success makes this year’s show bigger and a ‘can’t-miss’ event.”

“Music City July 4th: Let Freedom Sing” is produced by the NCVC for the city of Nashville and is sponsored by Dr Pepper, Kroger and McDonald’s. More details about the event, including additional artists will be forthcoming.
