Bringing Icons Together for America's Big 250
So what's dragging these music titans out of their individual grottos to perform together for the first time? It's all about America's grand quarter-millennial celebration. The Countdown 250 Ball, happening on the eve of Independence Day, aims to collect the best and the boldest for a bash that screams "unforgettable." Mike Harrigan, the visionary behind the event, says the night will create irreplaceable memories, as it assembles formidable talents like never seen before.
A Lineup Packed with Stars
Of course, Page, Velez, and Dvoskin are the headliners, but they won't be playing in a vacuum. The event boasts a stellar cast, including Lee Greenwood, the 2026 All-American Icon Award recipient, and other talents like Celeste Kellogg and Bob Anderson. This lineup promises a musical candy store where every piece is a hit-maker in their own right.
Beyond Just Music: The Full Experience
This isn’t just another concert. The Countdown 250 Ball offers multiple stages, immersive experiences, and a whole lot more. Highlight events include America’s Freedom Bell ring and a “1,000 Bells of Freedom” ceremony striking at midnight. This cacophony heralds America's step into its 250th year, making it a celebratory, patriotic night like no other.
"Scott, Gerardo, and Larry have each helped shape the soundtrack of generations,"— Mike Harrigan, Countdown 250 Founder
More Than Entertainment: A Noble Cause
