President Trump reveals who will perform ‘greatest music ever played’ at Freedom 250 rally after bands backed out of birthday concert
President Trump revealed that Lee Greenwood and US military bands would be performing at his Freedom 250 birthday celebration concert after a slew of artists backed out.
Trump said the event would feature himself and a number of other speakers while also treating the crowd to the ‘Greatest Music ever played’ later this month in ‘magnificent’ Washington D.C.
‘We will be bringing you, LIVE, the Greatest Rally, EVER!’ Trump announced on Truth Social.
‘All we want is you, me, a few speakers, and the Greatest Music ever played, the same Music you have listened to for years!
He made the announcement after ‘canceling’ the concert when several artists dropped out of the concert due to backlash and threats.
Poison, Morris Day, Young MC, the Commodores and Martina McBride had nixed their appearances. The artists claimed they were led to believe Freedom 250 was nonpartisan, only to learn that it was tied to the Trump Administration.
But Trump said he didn’t need the big name ’90s performers to have a good time on his birthday.
‘It will be special at every level — A Rally to end all Rallies!’ he said.
‘We don’t want singers with no talent, but big fees to put you to sleep, we’ve told them all to stay home.’

‘We will have the fabulous Lee Greenwood introducing me with what has turned out to be one of the Greatest Hits of All Time, GOD BLESS THE USA’
‘Not since the legendary Luciano Pavarotti has there been such a voice!’ Trump said about Macchio
Trump said that country artist Lee Greenwood would introduce him at the event on June 24.
‘We will have the fabulous Lee Greenwood introducing me with what has turned out to be one of the Greatest Hits of All Time, GOD BLESS THE U.S.A.,’ he said.
MAGA opera singer Christopher Macchio will perform Nessun Dorma, Hallelujah, Ave Maria, God Bless America, and others.
‘Not since the legendary Luciano Pavarotti has there been such a voice!’ Trump said about Macchio.
He added that the ‘wonderful’ Army Band and US Marine Band would perform with the Joint Armed Forces Chorus.
Last month Freedom 250, the Trump-affiliated body organizing the event, announced that musicians including the Commodores and Vanilla Ice would perform at the Great American State Fair on the National Mall.
But it became mired in controversy just hours after the lineup was announced, with five of the nine acts dropping out over its ties to the president.

Trump has long said that he gets told he looks like Elvis. The Republican posted the picture above in 2024 to prove in his point, asking his millions of followers, ‘What do you think?’
Trump temporarily planned to nix the whole event and turn it into a rally that would feature himself as the new headliner.
In a long Truth Social post, he dubbed himself the ‘Number One Attraction anywhere in the World’ and compared himself to Elvis.
Trump said unlike The King, who needed a guitar to wow his fans, all the President needs is a microphone and a good speech to get ‘much larger audiences than Elvis in his prime,’ he wrote.
‘I am ordering my Representatives to look at the feasibility of doing an AMERICA IS BACK Rally,’ he wrote on Truth Social. ‘Same time, same location. Only Great Patriots invited – It will be a Wild and Beautiful Celebration of America!’
