Macy's 4th of July Fireworks

The 48th annual Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks Show. Think unforgettable stars, larger-than-life pyrotechnics, and a salute to the American spirit that’s one of Summer’s Greatest Hits.

Line Up:

Grammy-nominated artist Amber Mark gives Bill Withers’ "Lovely Day" a serious glow-up. Her smooth vocals update the song with a modern R&B vibe. Plus, OneRepublic front man and Grammy-winning producer Ryan Tedder has remixed the track for a totally fresh take on the beloved 1977 classic, capturing the spirit of summer and making it our go-to anthem for any adventure this season.

One of her generation’s most esteemed songwriters, Brandy Clark has penned major country hits for Miranda Lambert, Kacey Musgraves and more. Brandy’s solo output has been no less impressive—she’s released three critically acclaimed studio albums after debuting in 2013 with 12 Stories. In what has been a landmark year, she won a 2024 Grammy for best Americana performance with "Dear Insecurity," a moving duet featuring Brandi Carlile.

Grammy winner and reigning CMA and ACM Entertainer of the Year Lainey Wilson is one of country music’s hottest artists. Sporting her signature wide-brimmed hat and bell bottoms, the Louisiana singer-songwriter has scored seven No. 1 hits including "Wildflowers and Wild Horses" and "Watermelon Moonshine." This summer, she’s headlining the Country’s Cool Again tour, and releasing a new album, Whirlwind, on Aug. 23.

An award-winning artist from Puerto Rico, Luis Fonsi is one of the leading Latin singers of the last 25 years. From his 1998 debut album Comenzaré to this year’s El Viaje, he has racked up millions of fans. His global impact is largely due to "Despacito," the ubiquitous 2017 hit featuring Daddy Yankee and Justin Bieber, which became a worldwide sensation and received seven Guinness World Records titles for its music chart dominance and billions of video views.

With 2021’s Remember Her Name, Mickey Guyton made history as the first Black artist to earn a Grammy nomination for Best Country Album. Following that, she was named 2022 TIME Breakthrough Artist of the Year and then dropped heartfelt songs "I Still Pray," "How You Love Someone" and "Somethin’ Bout You." Mickey’s recent rise is due to her amazing voice but also the message of inclusivity, love and spirituality in her music.

Founded in 2014 by married duo Michael Trotter Jr. and Tanya Trotter, The War And Treaty makes music for the soul, blending blues, rock, folk and country. In 2023, the Trotters became the first Black artists to be nominated for Duo of the Year at the CMA Awards. This year, the couple earned their first-ever Grammy nominations for Best New Artist and Best American Roots Song for "Blank Page," off their major-label debut album Lover’s Game.

From award-winning Broadway productions like The Great Gatsby and Little Women—The Musical to conducting orchestras and composing for TV, Jason Howland is a musical marvel. This July, he brings his talents to our Fireworks spectacular, crafting a unique score that blends different styles. Expect a powerful mix that captures the essence of American hope, bravery, and summer joy.
