July 4 Spectacular: Celebrating America 250 and Air Supply

We launch the season with a celebration worthy of a milestone—America’s 250th birthday! Stirring patriotic favorites set the stage for an unforgettable evening, followed by a hit-filled performance from legendary pop rock icons Air Supply on their A Matter of Time Tour.

Sing along to their iconic love songs, including "All Out of Love" and "Lost in Love"—timeless anthems that have defined romance for generations. Dance under the open sky as these soaring classics fill the night with unforgettable melodies and heartfelt lyrics. Cap off the evening with a spectacular fireworks finale—the perfect way to launch the season in grand style!

Pre-concert Entertainment
The OC Swing Band under the direction of Shawn Bryant will be performing on the green (behind the audience seating) from 7:00 - 7:45 p.m.

We know that parking challenges impacted the experience last season on the 4th of July. This year, with no other July 4th event at Great Park, we’ve made key improvements to ensure smoother arrivals and a more enjoyable evening from start to finish.
