Smashing Pumpkins Join America250 Celebration

The Smashing Pumpkins are set to rock the America250 celebration concert in LA on July 4th, headlined by Chris Stapleton and hosted by Queen Latifah, with more stars to come. Unlike the controversial Freedom 250 event, this bipartisan initiative honors the nation’s 250th anniversary with music, fireworks, and a $17.76 ticket price—a nod to 1776. Proceeds support Giving 4th and Feeding America, with 5,000 tickets donated to first responders and service members. Meanwhile, Freedom 250, backed by Trump, faces artist walkouts and now features a Lee Greenwood performance at a presidential rally at the Lincoln Memorial.
