This year’s Fourth of July Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular concert kicks off at 8:30 p.m., with a slew of nationally-known musical talents.
Here’s who you’ll be hearing from the Charles River Esplanade before the fireworks begin at 10:30 p.m.
Little Big Town
The Nashville-based country superstars have been together for almost 20 years now, but they’re biggest success came in 2014 upon the release of Pain Killer, which spurred hits such as “Day Drinking” and “Girl Crush,” the latter of which won them a Grammy. The quartet has performed at the Grand Ole Opry and is recognized as one of today’s biggest country acts.
Demi Lovato
The actress-turned-singer was a Disney star before breaking out on her own to release five albums in eight years. Lovato’s most recent album Confident produced three hit singles and was released on Safehouse Records—a label she helped launch with Nick Jonas.
Nick Jonas
One of the three Jonas Brothers has more recently performed solo, releasing his latest album Last Year Was Complicated in early June. Like Lovato, much of Jonas’ early work was through Disney, starring alongside his brothers and Lovato in the hit movie Camp Rock.
Hosted by: Nancy O’Dell
The co-anchor of Entertainment Tonight will serve as this year’s host of the Pops Fireworks Spectacular. In addition to her work on the popular entertainment news program, O’Dell has also hosted CBS’s Grammy Red Carpet Live Special and the American Country Music Awards.
