U.S. Air Force celebrates America’s 250th birthday with Concert at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2026

Country music superstar Tyler Hubbard will be part of the U.S. Air Force’s salute to America’s 250th birthday, as he performs at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2026 on Monday, July 20, during a program presented by the Air Force.

With 23 No. 1 singles, numerous industry accolades, and a career defined by sold-out tours, Tyler Hubbard has established himself as one of country music’s most successful artists and songwriters, both as a solo performer and as one-half of the multi-platinum duo Florida Georgia Line.

As a longtime partner and supporter of EAA AirVenture Oshkosh, the Air Force will not only be presenting the opening night concert, but also featuring aircraft from the Pacific Air Forces and other units throughout the week.

For the July 20 program, the Air Force is teaming with ADC Group Marketing, nationally recognized for its air show achievements for over 23 years, to work with the EAA AirVenture Oshkosh team to bring Hubbard to the event and produce the opening night concert. The USAF program is included with admission to the grounds on July 20.

"Aviation isn't just about machines; it's defined by precision, purpose, and the relentless human drive to push boundaries," said Mr. Marcus Carrion, Head of the Department of the Air Force Marketing. "We recognize that exact same ethos, that Air Force DNA, in the crowds at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh. Bringing Tyler Hubbard to Oshkosh for America’s 250th is a collision of world-class artistry and world-class airpower. It serves as a reminder that the dedication to master the skies and the drive to master any true craft are fundamentally the same."
