NBC has confirmed some high-profile performers for its upcoming July 4 special.
Names set to perform during the network’s annual “Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks Spectacular” include Meghan Trainor, Kenny Chesney, 5 Seconds of Summer, and The Rockettes.
Willie Geist and Tamron Hall will host the special, which airs from 8-10PM ET/PT on Independence Day.
“The 2016 celebration will include more than 56,000 pyrotechnic effects and feature the New York debut of pyro-writing, an explosive version of skywriting created using fireworks that will spell out “USA” in the night sky,” says NBC of the event’s central fireworks spectacular. “The 25 minute synchronized display will be choreographed to a soaring and patriotic score performed by the United States Air Force Band and the one-and-only Jennifer Holliday.”
