Declaring Philadelphia’s Fourth of July “the premier event anywhere,” Mayor Nutter announced yesterday that R&B artists John Legend and Philadelphia’s Boyz II Men would be the top acts at the city’s festivities

I’m actually pretty excited about this. Sure, I haven’t heard a Boyz II Men song since I was in 6th grade, but John Legend definitely brings a suave element to the party.

Fireworks will follow both concerts.

And that’s not all, per Nutter,

Between June 28 and July 6, we will have concerts, fireworks, a parade and a tremendous amount of educational programming, and we’re bringing back to Philadelphia just plain old fun.

As more details get released we’ll be sure to pass them along! [LINK]
