President Biden and First Lady’s Fourth of July White House Concert to Include Brothers Osborne, Ne-Yo

The White House is gearing up for a spectacular Fourth of July celebration as President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden prepare to host a star-studded concert on the South Lawn.

This marks the couple’s third Independence Day event at the White House, and they have truly raised the bar this year with an impressive lineup of performers.

Grammy winners Ne-Yo and Brothers Osborne are set to take the stage, accompanied by artist and producer DJ D-Nice. The entertainment will not only captivate the attendees but also pay tribute to the military and veteran families present at the event. Singer-songwriter and veteran Army spouse Becca Rae Greene will be among the performers, showcasing her talent and connection to the military community.

The musical extravaganza will be further enhanced by the participation of renowned ensembles, including “The President’s Own” United States Marine Band, U.S. Army Band, U.S. Army Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps, U.S. Navy Band, and U.S. Air Force Band. Their melodic contributions will add a patriotic flair to the evening’s festivities.

President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden will address the audience during the event and, from the White House, witness the grand Independence Day fireworks display unfolding over the iconic National Mall. This annual celebration serves as an opportunity for the Bidens to express their gratitude and appreciation for the military, veteran families, caregivers, and survivors who have contributed to the nation’s well-being.

In previous years, the Bidens have hosted Independence Day events at the White House, welcoming military families. However, this year’s celebration promises to be even more remarkable with the inclusion of high-profile talent.

In 2022, the first couple organized a Fourth of July barbecue with military families, accompanied by a performance by pop singer-songwriter Andy Grammer. Unfortunately, the event was overshadowed by the tragic news of six individuals losing their lives during a parade in Highland Park, Illinois.

During Biden’s first Fourth of July as president, which coincided with the lifting of stay-at-home orders during the COVID-19 pandemic, the White House hosted a momentous gathering. Over 1,000 guests were invited to the South Lawn, where they enjoyed burgers and a dazzling fireworks display. President Biden acknowledged the significance of the occasion, stating, “This year, the Fourth of July is a day of special celebration, for we are emerging from the darkness of years; a year of pandemic and isolation; a year of pain, fear, and heartbreaking loss.”

While this year’s event promises an unforgettable experience, President Biden faces the challenge of surpassing the remarkable Independence Day celebration held in 2016, during his tenure as vice president. The East Room concert, marking President Barack Obama’s final Fourth of July in office, featured performances by rapper Kendrick Lamar and singer Janelle Monáe.

The Fourth of July celebration at the White House has become an annual tradition, with each year bringing its own unique touch to honor the nation’s independence. As Americans come together to commemorate this historic day, the Biden administration aims to provide an evening filled with music, patriotism, and appreciation for those who have served the country.
