The lineup for the Freedom 250 concert series, which is set to mark America’s 250th birthday, is quickly shrinking as artists from the lineup decide to walk away from the project. This event, officially titled Freedom 250 Presents: The Great American State Fair, is a 16-day festival scheduled to take place on the National Mall in Washington, DC, starting June 25 and running through July 10.
According to Page Six, the festival was initially envisioned as a patriotic celebration featuring concerts, military tributes, and family-friendly attractions. While the event is still moving forward with its plans to include everything from a 110-foot Ferris wheel to innovation exhibits and daily themed programming, the roster of musical acts has faced significant turnover. Several artists have publicly stated that they are pulling out of the festival.
