Post Malone, HARDY Set to Headline Salute 250 Concert in Columbus

America’s 250th birthday celebration is getting a major soundtrack.

Breakaway has announced Salute 250, a one-night-only concert event featuring Post Malone and HARDY at Historic Crew Stadium in Columbus, Ohio, on July 2. The patriotic celebration will honor the nation’s service members and Veterans while helping raise support for military-focused charities.

Hosted by Whiskey Jam and benefiting the Easy Day Foundation, Salute 250 aims to combine star power, community spirit, and a meaningful cause as the country prepares to commemorate its semiquincentennial.

The event will feature performances from two of music’s biggest names. Post Malone, fresh off the success of his chart-topping country album F-1 Trillion, continues to dominate across genres, while HARDY brings his signature blend of country, Southern rock, and arena-ready energy to the lineup.

Beyond the music, organizers are making a significant effort to ensure Veterans and military families are part of the celebration. Through a partnership with VetTix, thousands of complimentary tickets will be distributed to Veterans, active-duty service members, and their families.

The evening will also include a special tribute to America’s 250th anniversary, highlighted by a National Anthem performance from an Ohio Veteran, patriotic programming throughout the event, and a traditional Fourth of July fireworks display.

“Being part of Salute 250 is an incredible honor for Breakaway,” Zach Ruben, co-founder of Breakaway, said in a press release. “With our company’s roots in Columbus, we’re especially proud to support a celebration in our hometown that recognizes the service and sacrifice of our nation’s veterans and military families while bringing people together through music.”

Easy Day Foundation co-founders Frank Fertitta IV and Landon Guylay emphasized the event’s broader mission.

“Salute 250 is about more than an incredible night of music,” they said in a joint statement. “It is about honoring the men and women who have answered the call to serve and ensuring they continue to receive support long after the uniform comes off.”

Tickets start at $29, with public sales beginning June 3 at 10 a.m. ET. Fans can register now for a presale that opens June 2 at 10 a.m. ET here. Veterans, active-duty service members, and their families can also register through VetTix to receive complimentary tickets.
