The Freedom 250 program includes 90s stars, a UFC fight at the White House, and IndyCar races. The event is funded by private companies and the U.S. federal budget.
Organizers of the United States' 250th anniversary celebration have announced the musical lineup for the large-scale Freedom 250 festival, which primarily features performers popular in the 1990s. This was reported by The Independent, according to UNN.
Details
The event will take place in Washington, D.C., from June 25 to July 10 and will be part of the state celebration program supported by President Donald Trump's administration. Announced artists include Milli Vanilli, Vanilla Ice, Young MC, C+C Music Factory, Flo Rida, and Poison frontman Bret Michaels.
Organizers called the June 26 concert an "evening of 90s nostalgia." The lineup includes Fab Morvan, who currently performs under the Milli Vanilli brand following the death of his former partner Rob Pilatus. Vanilla Ice, who has previously performed multiple times at Trump's events at Mar-a-Lago, is also confirmed among the participants.
Program also includes UFC fight and races
In addition to concerts, the Freedom 250 program includes a UFC match on the White House grounds, an IndyCar race in Washington, thematic state exhibitions, events within the "Make America Healthy Again" campaign, and screenings of the "National Treasure" films.
At the same time, the project has already drawn the attention of watchdog organizations and some members of Congress due to the use of public funds. The event is funded through a public-private partnership model involving companies such as Palantir, Oracle, Deloitte, and Lockheed Martin.
