Republican tycoon Donald Trump will return to the White House on January 20 to assume his second term as President of the United States. The inauguration event will take place in the Capitol building, in compliance with tradition. Below is a list of artists scheduled to perform at the inaugural events, excluding a surprise musical guest who will appear at the Liberty Ball.
Country music star Carrie Underwood, who rose to fame after winning American Idol two decades ago, will perform “America the Beautiful” during the swearing-in ceremony. “I love our country, and I’m honored to have been invited to sing at the Inauguration and be a small part of this historic event,” Underwood said in a statement.
Classical tenor Christopher Macchio will sing the national anthem during the swearing-in ceremony. According to a video on his YouTube channel, Macchio met Trump when Elton John canceled a New Year’s Eve performance at Mar-a-Lago, and he was hired as a replacement.
Lee Greenwood, known for his Grammy-winning song “I.O.U.” in 1984, will perform at both the swearing-in ceremony and the Make America Great Again Victory Rally.
