Freedom 250 lineup shrinks as stars pull out, Vanilla ICE still listed
Several artists have pulled out of Freedom 250, the Trump-linked concert series scheduled for the National Mall, while Vanilla ICE remains listed on the bill. Milli Vanilli, Morris Day and The Commodores have dropped out, and Young MC and C+C Music Factory are absent from published lineup listings. Appearances for Flo Rida, Bret Michaels and Martina McBride remain unconfirmed, leaving the advertised schedule incomplete. The shrinking roster matters because the National Mall event is tied to a high-profile 250th anniversary celebration, and missing acts raise questions about the festival’s organization and credibility.
All those artists cancelling their Freedom 250 gig & saying they didn’t know it was political should be lining up to play at Bruce Springsteen’s Power to the People Festival. It has been a lonely slog for Bruce. Much respect. Big names, where are you? Time to show up. #PowerToThePeople #Springsteen
grammymae.bsky.social6WE GOT DAVE MATHHEWS AND TOM MORELLO SO FAR!
W6None of the acts at 250 are big time. Where are Beyonce and Taylor? John Mayer.
arknet3Maybe we have different tastes, but I was impressed with the lineup on the Springsteen festival. Have a feeling that's not going to be all, since it's not happening until October. The Trump event is in two weeks. I'm betting people won't bail on Springsteen either.
acleareyedsoul.bsky.social3Except now there is a No Kings event on the same day
milkybarkid.bsky.social3“didn’t know it was political” WTF…where have they been living under Kid rock. 🙄 American stupid is a very special stupid. THE W🌎RLD
Michael Bednarski 🇨🇦2I am so sad that Milli Vanilli cancelled Trump's 250th anniversary event. Milli Vanilli is all-original. The singers have great voices.
comtechdiagnostics.bsky.social2. Republicans are Trump accomplices. They are allowing Trump's criminal activity. They are all in this together. MAJORITY. >>> This would all STOP if they objected. <<< They have become the enemy. Treat them accordingly!
July Again2Trump's birthday: No Kings across the country.
Jenni2They can all suck a bag of rancid dicks. They were happy for the paycheck until they realized they'd get a bigger audience by canceling. They certainly shouldn't get the chance to sully the real patriotic concert.
Vanilla Ice, Young MC, zombie C&C and some others not listed here are touring together as part of something called "I Love The 90s", but again, not booked for DC
I'm Mr Blightside97Its a wishlist that got out of control, in my professional opinion. All these acts are technically available, affordable, have space in their calendars and are currently either on the state fair or casino circuit. The problem is nobody asked them first
Steve Stevers13Is this just completely made up? And this is the best they could imagine?
Who will Trump announce will perform, next at 'Freedom 250'? 1. The Beatles 2. William Hung 3. Led Zeppelin 4. Alvin and the Chipmunks 5._______________
Brown Eyed Susan12This would bring em in.
@SuzanaD36The dead half of Milli Vanilli.
Mike Loves Blues 🎶🎸📎5I heard they've got a couple openings..
Steve4The greatest singer of all time
Unapologetically RMR4Up With People is probably available.
grammymae.bsky.social3If they would pay her IDOL millions,I am sure Carrie Underwear would be there!
TheRealSparky💙🐸🇺🇸3Village People would be honored to perform their hits
🔵Blue Dot Buckeye🔵3Alexis Wilkins, Kash Patel’s girlfriend
ilibeebythesea.bsky.social2Lynard Skynard - With All the original members
I can't find anything looking like official confirmation of this but I can't be arsed with more than a cursory search and I'm taking it on trust anyway because it's too funny not to. There are only two to go--repeat, there are only two to go until it's just Vanilla Ice left
Hal Duncan6Sooooo close now! Come on, Flo Rida! It's just down to you now! Give us your "Hell no!" and bring it down to JUST. VANILLA. ICE.
It's boops, boops, boops.6I can't either, I saw it on someone's post and figured there was a post out there. I hope they're just left with Vanilla Ice. Can't believe they didn't even get kid rock lol
Kate Elliott5As long as they have Vanilla Ice to go with the rest of their white celebration, who else do they need??? *note: vanilla is a great flavor, and does not deserve association with Vanilla Ice as a perjorative, but that's a different issue
Saskia3Hey we got tic tac toe!
