Trump reveals lineup for rally replacing canceled Freedom 250 concerts [View all]
President Donald Trump has revealed the lineup for a rally celebrating the nation's 250th anniversary days after a slew of musicians pulled out of performing at a Freedom 250 multi-day concert event.
In a June 4 social media post, Trump announced country singer Lee Greenwood will sing his 1984 hit "God Bless The U.S.A" at the June 24 rally before introducing the headlining act: the president himself.
"We don't want singers with no talent, but big fees to put you to sleep, we've told them all to stay home. All we want is you, me, a few speakers, and the Greatest Music ever played, the same Music you have listened to for years!" Trump wrote.
Freedom 250, the quasi-government group Trump formed to mark America's 250th birthday, was originally planning a 16-day concert series as part of an event coined the "Great America State Fair." But last week, a slew of musicians backed out of performing, with several citing the event's perceived political affiliation and confusion around what they signed up for.
