Watch the 2025 National Memorial Day Concert

PBS will broadcast the 36th annual National Memorial Day Concert in Washington, D.C., this Sunday.

The event is scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. ET. Watch LIVE.

Hosted this year by actors Gary Sinise and Esai Morales, the concert features musical performances, documentary footage and stories in tribute to American veterans, servicemen and women and military families.

Joe Mantegna, who traditionally co-hosts the annual event with Sinise, could not attend “due to an ear issue,” the actor wrote on social media. Mantegna expressed gratitude to Morales for stepping in on his behalf.

The 2025 concert includes performances by Yolanda Adams, Blair Underwood, Scotty Hasting, Angel Blue, Loren Allred, the National Symphony Orchestra and U.S. military bands and ensembles.
