The iconic and multi-platinum country music band Rascal Flatts will take the stage at Brigham Young University’s LaVell Edwards Stadium on July 4 for the annual Stadium of Fire.

In an announcement made Monday by America’s Freedom Festival at Provo, organizers said after years of  inquiries about having the trio perform at the Stadium of Fire, they’re happy to announce the band will finally perform at the annual event.

“I literally could not count how many times over the years I have been asked about Rascal Flatts coming to Stadium of Fire,” said Jim Evans, executive director of America’s Freedom Festival, in a press release. “And I have wanted them here, too! Finally the stars have aligned and they are coming to Provo!”

The upcoming performance aligns with the band’s “Life is a Highway” reunion tour. The band is celebrating 25 years in music; it released its self-titled debut album “Rascal Flatts” in June 2000.

Since then, selections like “Praying for Daylight,” “What Hurts the Most” and “Life Is a Highway” are cemented in music history, crossing the genres and charts beyond country music.

The chart-topping and award-winning trio was created by vocalist Gary LeVox, multi-instrumentalist Jay DeMarcus and guitarist Joe Don Rooney, and it has a combined 17 No. 1 hits. It is regarded as one of the most awarded country groups of the past two decades.

Now emerging from hiatus with renewed passion, the trio is reuniting to take care of unfinished business on its Life Is A Highway Tour in 2025, celebrating 25 years of hits and the impact of one of the most influential groups in country music, according to the band’s official website.

Stadium of Fire annually packs thousands inside of LaVell Edwards Stadium for a memorable night of music and the nation’s largest stadium fireworks and drone spectacle, a thrilling flyover by F-35 jets from Utah’s Hill Air Force Base and rousing tributes to military and civilian heroes.

Monday’s announcement comes just weeks after fire officials determined what led to fireworks launching into the crowd during 2024’s Stadium of Fire, delaying a performance by the Jonas Brothers.

On Feb. 19, officials revealed the cause was an internal malfunction with the fireworks tubes. Twenty-seven  people were injured as a result.

Provo Fire Marshal Lynn Schofield made a number of recommendations and suggestions to prevent a similar instance from occurring and vowed that similar fireworks will not be used again under his watch.

Tickets for this year’s festival will go on sale at stadiumoffire.com and tickets.byu.edu on Friday at 10 a.m. for Freedom Festival email subscribers. Tickets for the general public will become available the same day beginning at noon.

General admission tickets become available to the general public the same day at noon.

Aside from the Stadium of Fire, America’s Freedom Festival at Provo will host a bevy of other patriotic events to honor the holiday week, including the July 4th Grand Parade, the Freedom Days vendor market in downtown Provo and the Balloon Fest.

The organization says nearly 500,000 people will typically attend Freedom Festival celebratory events over the Independence Day week in Utah Valley.
