But the festivities don’t end there. The 47th annual event promises a lineup of incredible performances by renowned artists such as Ashanti, Bebe Rexha, Ja Rule, Jelly Roll, Lainey Wilson, and the dynamic duo of LL Cool J and DJ Z-Trip, joined by The Roots.
With such a star-studded roster, the stage will undoubtedly be set ablaze with exceptional talent. Adding to the excitement, the broadcast will feature an impressive flyover along the coastline.
