President-elect Donald Trump is scheduled to be sworn in on Jan. 20 — and unlike his first inauguration in 2017, which reportedly struggled to book high-profile performers, several big-name artists will be attending this year’s inaugural events.

“The Trump Vance Inauguration Committee is proud to announce that some of our nation’s most iconic (musicians) will join the inauguration festivities,” co-chairs Steve Witkoff and Kelly Loeffler said 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 that ushers in America’s new golden age.”

Below is a list of the artists scheduled to perform during the inaugural events, not including a surprise musical guest scheduled to perform at the Liberty Ball.

Country star Carrie Underwood, who started her career as a winner of American Idol two decades ago, is set to perform “America the Beautiful” during the commencement ceremony.

“I love our country and am honored to have been asked to sing at the inauguration and be a small part of this historic event,” Underwood said in a statement to NPR. “I am humbled to answer the call at a time when we must all come together in a spirit of unity and look forward.”

Christopher Macchio

Greenwood has received five more Grammy nominations over the years and was heavily featured at last summer’s Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.

“I am humbled and honored to be asked to perform for our 47th President Donald J. Trump during his inaugural events,” Greenwood said in a statement to NPR. “The president has been a friend of (my wife) Kim (Payne) and I for many years, and this is one of the most historic moments of our lifetime. I look forward to celebrating this special day with proud Americans everywhere.”

Kid Rock

Village people

The Village People disco band, led by surviving original member Victor Willis, will perform at two events: the Make America Great Again Victory Rally and the Liberty Ball. The group’s 1978 hit song “YMCA” was a staple at Trump campaign rallies, even leading to a viraldance. In a Facebook postWillis, who wrote the song’s lyrics, wrote that the campaign’s use of the song had greatly increased its popularity, including having it land at the top of the song.

Willis went on to write that while Trump’s use of “YMCA” had sparked controversy because the song has been widely adopted as an unofficial gay anthem, it is “a false assumption” that the song intentionally has a queer subtext. In light of the announcement that the Village People would attend the presidential inauguration, Willis again took to Facebook.

“We know this won’t make some of you happy to hear, but we believe that music should be performed without regard to politics,” a declaration posted on both Willis’ and the group’s official pages reads. “Our song YMCA is a global anthem that will hopefully help bring the country together after a tumultuous and divisive campaign in which our favorite candidate lost. That’s why we believe now is the time to bring the country together with music, and that’s why performing THE VILLAGE at various events as part of the 2025 inauguration of Donald J. Trump.”
