Presidential inaugurations have long been star-studded affairs, featuring performances from music legends like Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, and Bruce Springsteen. With Donald Trump set to begin his second term on Monday, January 20, many are wondering who will take the stage this time around.
Under the Constitution’s 20th Amendment, the newly elected president of the United States takes office on Jan. 20 (unless that’s a Sunday, in which case it moves to Jan. 21). For Trump’s (second) big day, the pomp and circumstance will include performances by Carrie Underwood and the Village People, a military parade, and formal balls.
Other performers will include two of Trump’s musical favorites: opera singer Christopher Macchio, who will sing the “The Star-Spangled Banner,” and country singer Lee Greenwood, known for his patriotic anthem, “God Bless the USA,” also played at Trump rallies.
The Village People—the band behind one of Trump’s favorite hits, “Y.M.C.A.”—will perform at a pre-inauguration event.
Eight years ago, it was mostly family and elected officials behind Trump as he took the oath of office. This time fellow billionaires will surround him.
