Landmark Music Festival

Leading into this weekend's inaugural LANDMARK MUSIC FESTIVAL in WASHINGTON, D.C., LIVE NATION TV will debut "AMERICA's Stage: LANDMARK MUSIC FESTIVAL," a new documentary on the storied musical history of the NATIONAL MALL.

Premiering at APPLE MUSIC, the documentary features interviews with D.C. natives WALE and DISMEMBERMENT PLAN's TRAVIS MORRISON, DAN DEACON, SON LITTLE and the festival organizers. In the short film, civil rights activist GINA BELAFONTE describes the MALL's legacy as space for musical protest, while MIKE LOVE recounts a failed attempt to ban THE BEACH BOYS from playing the MALL during the REAGAN Administration. The documentary also traces AMERICA's shared musical history at the NATIONAL MALL from MARIAN ANDERSON's historic first performance to FUGAZI's guerrilla sets there in the late '80s
