The long awaited announcement about the headliner of this year’s Stadium of Fire in Provo is finally here. This morning the America’s Freedom Festival committee announced that Kelly Clarkson will be this year’s big name. Clarkson will be joined by Carly Rae Jepsen and the famous Cirque Du Soleil.

Kelly Clarkson got her big break when she took first place in the 2002 season of American Idol. She is now one of the biggest names in the music industry.

Tickets are already on sale for the event. It will be held at BYU’s Lavell Edwards Stadium in Provo. The show is set to begin at 8pm on July 4th, 2013.
