All the musicians performing at Donald Trump's inauguration
Updated | By The Drive with Rob and Roz
The US Constitution mandates that each new president's term begin at noon on January 20 or the day after if it falls on a Sunday.
Donald Trump will start his term as the 47th President of the United States at midday (7 pm local time) on Monday, January 20, 2025.

Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts will officiate the ceremony.
The new president is also set to deliver a speech outlining his plans for the next four years. In contrast, Trump's 2017 inauguration speech was notably sombre.

At the time NPR, and other sources, reported that securing performers for the event proved to be a challenge.
Fast forward eight years, and things appear to have changed significantly, with a star-studded lineup set to take the stage for this inauguration.
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. 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.- Co-chairs Steve Witkoff and Kelly Loeffler

Here are the musical acts set to perform at Donald Trump's Presidential Inauguration:
Lee Greenwood
Greenwood is an award-winning country singer-songwriter.
He is best known for writing the patriotic anthem 'God Bless The USA'. Beyoncé even recorded a version in 2011 with all proceeds going to the 9/11 firefighters fund in NYC.
The song inspired 'The God Bless The USA Bible', which Donald Trump endorsed. The Bible is the King James Version (KJV) and includes the Pledge of Allegiance, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the Declaration of Independence.
He will perform at the swearing-in ceremony and the Make America Great Again Victory Rally.

Carrie Underwood
Underwood faced major backlash after officials announced that she would perform 'America Is Beautiful' during the swearing-in ceremony.
She responded by releasing a statement:
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. 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.- Carrie Underwood
Kid Rock
The country and rock artist has been a long-time supporter of Trump, so his performance comes as no surprise.
He'll also perform at the Make America Great Again Victory Rally.
The Village People
The band known for its iconic hit song, 'YMCA', only has one surviving original member, Victor Willis.
He's set to perform at two events, the Make America Great Again Victory Rally and the Liberty Ball.

He will perform at the Make America Great Again Victory Rally.
