President-elect Donald Trump will take office on January 20. Unlike his first inauguration in 2017, which apparently had trouble booking well-known entertainers, this year’s inaugural activities will feature a number of well-known performers.
“The Trump Vance Inaugural Committee is proud to announce that some of our nation’s most iconic [musicians] will be participating in the inaugural celebrations,” said co-chairs Steve Witkoff and Kelly Loeffler in a statement provided to NPR. “This monumental weekend will commemorate President Trump’s historic victory and the 60th Presidential Inauguration with a celebration of music, unity, and patriotism, ushering in America’s new Golden Age.”
With the exception of a surprise musical guest who will perform at the Liberty Ball, the performers listed below are scheduled to perform during the inaugural ceremonies.
“I love our country and am honored to have been asked to sing at the Inauguration and to be a small part of this historic event,” Underwood said in a statement provided to NPR. “I am humbled to answer the call at a time when we must all come together in the spirit of unity and looking to the future.”
