Clinton To Host Rally In Philadelphia After The DNC Is Over

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- The Clinton campaign has confirmed that the presumptive nominee will hold a rally in Philadelphia the day after the Democratic National Convention.

Details are still very few but the campaign has announced that the rally will be held on Independence Mall, Friday, July 29 as anticipated after it received a permit for the space from the Historic Park. No time was given but members of the public were invited to register for the event online to receive updates.

The campaign says it's putting the emphasis on grass roots events, scheduling some 500 this week across the country, even as it locks in celebrity appearances for next week's convention.

A dozen performers have announced via Twitter they'll be appearing at the Wells Fargo Center. The campaign hopes their combined millions of followers will get involved.

Those who are interested in attending the event can register to receive updates here.
