The legendary duo performs “All Out of Love,” “Lost in Love,” “Making Love Out of Nothing at All” and more with the full orchestra, plus patriotic favorites and a spectacular fireworks finale celebrating America’s 250th anniversary

Celebrate America’s 250th anniversary with a star-spangled evening of music and fireworks featuring Air Supply and Pacific Symphony at Great Park Live in Irvine. This year’s “July 4 Spectacular” combines one of the world’s most beloved pop duos with one of Orange County’s premier Independence Day traditions. The symphony also performs patriotic favorites as guests enjoy wine, picnicking and music under the night sky for the perfect kick-off to summer!

Known for chart-topping classics such as “All Out of Love,” “Lost in Love” and “Making Love Out of Nothing at All,” Air Supply joins Pacific Symphony as part of the duo's 50th-anniversary tour and the release of its new album, A Matter of Time. In a rare symphonic collaboration, Air Supply performs many of its greatest hits accompanied by the full symphony orchestra. Led by guest conductor Chad Goodman, the program also captures the spirit of the holiday celebration with “America the Beautiful,” “American Salute” and “Midway March.”

“This is going to be one of the most memorable July 4 celebrations we’ve ever presented,” says John Forsyte, President and CEO of Pacific Symphony. “Air Supply’s timeless hits have been the soundtrack of countless lives. Experiencing those songs performed live with a full orchestra, followed by fireworks under the stars, creates exactly the kind of magical summer evening audiences love to share with family and friends.”

The concert launches Pacific Symphony’s five-concert SummerFest season, presented by City of Hope Orange County, with the venue underwritten by the City of Irvine.

“As our nation approaches the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, this Independence Day carries special significance. It is a time to celebrate the ideals of freedom, courage, opportunity, and service that have shaped our country and continue to unite us as Americans,” said Annette Walker, President of City of Hope Orange County. “City of Hope Orange County is proud to support Pacific Symphony’s July 4 Spectacular, a cherished tradition that honors our nation through music, community, and celebration. We are honored to be part of an evening that brings families together, celebrates the American spirit, and reminds us of the values that have inspired generations.”

Audience members are invited to sing along to Air Supply’s biggest hits, celebrate America’s milestone birthday, enjoy an evening under the night sky with family and friends, and experience a spectacular fireworks finale. Combining pop nostalgia, patriotic favorites and live symphonic music, the event offers a uniquely Orange County way to celebrate Independence Day.
