Hogan/Getty ImagesPeople will be gathering together across the U.S. to celebrate Independence Day, and as usual, some big-name music artists will help mark the occasion by playing concerts in various cities. Among those acts is Journey, who will be performing at the Stadium of Fire event in Provo, Utah.
The show, held annually at Brigham Young University’s LaVell Edwards Stadium in Provo, Utah, features the biggest stadium fireworks display in the U.S. The patriotic-themed concert is part of the America’s Freedom Festival, and is available for U.S. military members around the world to watch on the American Forces Network.
Journey guitarist Neal Schon tells ABC Radio he’s thrilled to be playing the event, and promises that his band’s set is “gonna be wicked.”
Other famous music acts set to perform around the U.S. include The Rolling Stones, who will be rocking Indianapolis; The Beach Boys, who will be playing in Prior Lake, Minnesota; and Smokey Robinson, who will be performing at the famed Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles.
