Matthew Broderick - Matthew Broderick To Headline Independence Day Concert

The Ferris Bueller's Day Off star and his stage co-star Kelli O'Hara will join country singer Josh Turner and composer John Williams on the bill for the special holiday show, known as A Capitol Fourth.

The concert will be staged on the National Mall before the annual Independence Day fireworks display lights up the sky above the U.S. Capitol.

A number of U.S. Olympic athletes, who will be going for gold this summer at the London Games, will also be taking part in the celebrations on 4 July (12).
