Which venue hosted America250’s America’s Block Party in Los Angeles?

America250’s America’s Block Party in Los Angeles was hosted at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.

The event served as the Los Angeles anchor for America’s Block Party, a nationwide celebration connected with the 250th anniversary of American independence. The Coliseum hosted the July 4, 2026 benefit show, which combined live music, fireworks and a drone spectacular. Queen Latifah hosted, and the lineup included Chris Stapleton, The Smashing Pumpkins, Maren Morris, Anthony Ramos and special guest Chaka Khan.

The venue is historically significant beyond this anniversary. The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum opened in 1923 and has hosted two Olympic Games, in 1932 and 1984. Its name can be confused with other major Southern California venues, especially the Hollywood Bowl, Dodger Stadium and the Rose Bowl, but none of those was the America250 Block Party venue.
