Nashville is going all out for Independence Day this year. Visit Music City has unveiled the full lineup and schedule for the 2026 Let Freedom Sing! Music City July 4 celebration, a two-day free event bringing more than 30 artists to five stages across downtown Nashville. The festivities are also part of the city’s broader America 250 commemoration.
The event runs July 3 and 4, and this year’s headliners are stacked. The All-American Rejects, Boyz II Men, Brothers Osborne, Clint Black, Lauren Daigle, NE-YO, Nick Jonas and Sublime are all set to take the main stage.
Those headlining performances will serve as the centerpiece of “Disney Celebrates America: Nashville’s Star-Spangled Bash,” a live three-hour television special hosted by Ryan Seacrest airing on ABC from 7 to 10 p.m. CDT. Little Big Town, Reba McEntire and Tim McGraw will also perform during the broadcast.
Closing out the night, the July 4 Fireworks and Drone Show is expected to be the biggest aerial display in Nashville history, with 1,000 drones, more than 1,000 floating flares and 12-inch fireworks shells taking over the sky at 9:30 p.m.
