The performance will be followed by the display of the "National Mall fireworks" show.

Over the years, Presidents have celebrated Independence Day with commemorative ceremonies, White House picnics, family gatherings, and of course, fireworks.

Last year, Obama hosted more than 1,200 military heroes and their families for a barbeque and a performance by band "Train."
