As America celebrates its 250th birthday, the city has a huge lineup of semiquincentennial festivities on deck for the Fourth of July weekend. Musical performances will take place over a two-day span on five stages throughout downtown — kind of similar to CMA Fest, but with even more focus on patriotism. The lineup is a bit of a mishmash, with performers including The All-American Rejects, Boyz II Men, Clint Black, Nick Jonas, Lauren Daigle and Sublime, alongside local favorites like Brothers Osborne and Brittney Spencer. Ryan Seacrest will host the live show Saturday (which will air on Hulu), with local country artist Emily Ann Roberts serving as the backstage correspondent. The night will end with the city’s massive annual fireworks display, which this year will include a drone show and will be accompanied by the Nashville Symphony under the direction of conductor Enrico Lopez-Yañez.
