Overview
- Live Nation announced Meek Mill’s addition to the One Philly lineup on Tuesday, June 23, expanding a bill that already includes Christina Aguilera, Jill Scott, and The Roots.
- The City of Philadelphia and ESM Productions will present a nearly seven-hour free concert on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway with gates opening at 3 p.m., performances starting at 5 p.m., and fireworks closing the night just before midnight.
- The event is produced with executive producers Scott Mirkin, Shawn Gee, and Ahmir 'Questlove' Thompson, and comedian Wanda Sykes will serve as host.
- Organizers urge attendees to use the 2026 Access Philly app for event details and say the show will have a planned global broadcast to reach audiences beyond the city.
- Philadelphia is positioning One Philly as a flagship 250th-anniversary centerpiece that highlights local talent and aims to draw large in-person crowds while distinguishing the concert from the separate Wawa Welcome America series.
