America's Block Party to celebrate July 4th with benefit concert and nationwide events
Chris Stapleton and The Smashing Pumpkins are set to perform, while proceeds from $17.76 tickets will benefit Feeding America.
- Queen Latifah will host America250's Fourth of July benefit concert at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, featuring Chris Stapleton and The Smashing Pumpkins. Tickets go on sale today, June 16, for $17.76, with proceeds benefiting Feeding America.
- Established by Congress in 2016, America250 is a bipartisan nonprofit planning the nation's 250th anniversary. The organization operates separately from Freedom 250, a nonprofit created by President Donald Trump to manage his administration's anniversary plans.
- The concert promotes the "Giving 4th" initiative, aiming to make Independence Day the largest single day of charitable giving. America250 will donate 5,000 tickets to first responders, veterans, and active-duty service members.
- Organizers selected the Coliseum because it will host 2028 Summer Olympics events. Rosie Rios, chair of America250, said "This is kind of a passing of the torch," emphasizing the venue's significance.
- In contrast, the Freedom 250 event faced bipartisan criticism after several artists withdrew in May. Conservative commentator Megyn Kelley called the original lineup "pathetic," while Trump has since announced a new roster including himself and Lee Greenwood.
