President Donald Trump said Thursday evening that a large rally will take place on the National Mall in downtown Washington, D.C., later this month as the nation gears up for its 250th birthday.

The move comes after multiple award-winning artists pulled out of a planned concert for the "Great American Fair," which is set to formally begin on June 25. The artists claimed they were misled about the nature of the event.

Trump said the rally will take place the night before the fair is set to open. It is scheduled for June 24 at 7 p.m. and will feature music from Lee Greenwood, whose song "God Bless the USA" is often played at Trump events.

"All we want is you, me, a few speakers, and the greatest music ever played, the same music you have listened to for years," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "The Rally will also be featuring the wonderful U.S. Army Band 'Pershing’s Own' and Armed Forces Choir, and 'The President’s Own' United States Marine Band, with the Joint Armed Forces Chorus, all of your favorite hits, plus a fine and highly dignified gentleman known as, President Donald J. Trump!" 

The rally will also feature tenor Christopher Macchio, who sang at the president's second inauguration. He will perform the opera song "Nessun Dorma," "Ave Maria", "God Bless America" and "Hallelujah," among others.
