Disney has officially unveiled “Disney Celebrates America: Nashville’s Star-Spangled Bash,” a three-hour live concert event set to air nationwide on July 4, bringing together some of the biggest names in country, pop and R&B for an unforgettable night of music and celebration.
Among the artists leading the lineup are country superstars Tim McGraw and Reba McEntire, joined by Sheryl Crow, Scotty McCreery, Mickey Guyton, and duo LOCASH. The show will also feature performances from pop star Nick Jonas and legendary R&B group Boyz II Men, creating one of the most diverse musical events of the summer.
The special will be hosted by television personality Ryan Seacrest and broadcast live from Nashville on Saturday, July 4, from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. ET. Viewers will be able to watch on ABC or stream the event through Disney+, Hulu, ESPN App, Freeform, FX and National Geographic.
The concert is part of Disney’s larger “Celebrate America” initiative honoring the nation’s 250th anniversary. The company has planned a series of special events across television, streaming platforms and Disney parks throughout the holiday season, with Nashville serving as the centerpiece for its July 4 festivities.
For country music fans, however, the biggest attraction is the chance to see icons like Tim McGraw and Reba McEntire share the stage during one of the year’s most highly anticipated television events.
With a lineup that spans generations and genres, Disney appears to be betting big on Nashville as the perfect backdrop for America’s birthday celebration.
And if the early excitement online is any indication, this could end up being one of the most-watched music specials of the year.
