Brad Paisley will headline Nashville’s 4th of July celebration, Let Freedom Sing! Music City July 4th, this year, marking his second as headliner with his last appearance in 2021.
Paisley will be joined on the Jack Daniel’s Broadway Stage by a lineup that includes The War And Treaty, singer-songwriter Langhorne Slim and rising country artist Tiera Kennedy, who will also perform the national anthem. Performances at the Amazon Family Fun Zone will consist of The Magi, Tommy Howell, Les Kerr & The Bayou Band and Troubadour Blue, with DJ Coach entertaining between sets.
The event will feature one of the country’s largest July 4th fireworks shows, which will be synchronized to live music from the Nashville Symphony. The concert and fireworks show are free and open to the public.
Let Freedom Sing! is partnering with The Store, a free-referral based grocery store, which aims to empower low-income individuals and families in the Nashville area, founded by Paisley and his wife, Kimberly Williams-Paisley. The Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp (NCVC) will donate a dollar from each T-shirt sale to The Store.
“We are proud that Nashville hosts one of the best July 4th celebrations in the country with A-list acts, an impressive fireworks show and kid-friendly activities in the Amazon Family Fun Zone,” says Kevin Lavender, NCVC Board of Directors Chairman and Executive Vice President at 5/3 Bank. “We encourage Nashvillians to come out and enjoy the fireworks and the great music from Brad and the rest of the lineup – all right in their backyard and for free.”
The event has regularly drawn more than 200,000 attendees – and a record-breaking 350,000 in 2021. Last year, Let Freedom Sing! generated $11 million in estimated direct visitor spending and an estimated 250,000 to 300,000 in attendance. This will be the 20th annual celebration produced by Music City Inc. through the NCVC and the 39th in the city.
