Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration events will feature performances by Carrie Underwood, Village People, and Lee Greenwood.
Underwood stated on Monday that she is “honored” to perform as Trump is sworn in on January 20 at the U.S. Capitol.
“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. “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.”

The ’70s disco group Village People have been a staple during Trump’s rallies over the past year, with hits like “Y.M.C.A” and “Macho Man” being played.

The group is set to perform at one of Trump’s inaugural balls and a rally he’s holding in Washington in the days leading up to his inauguration.
Village People shared a statement on Facebook on Monday. “We know this won’t make some of you happy to hear; however, we believe that music is to be performed without regard to politics,” the band said.

“Our song Y.M.C.A. is a global anthem that hopefully helps bring the country together after a tumultuous and divided campaign where our preferred candidate lost,” they continued. “Therefore, we believe it’s now time to bring the country together with music, which is why VILLAGE PEOPLE will be performing at various events as part of the 2025 Inauguration of Donald J. Trump.”
