The Trump-Vance Inaugural Committee announced additional performers who will appear at Inauguration events, including Billy Ray Cyrus, Kid Rock and country band Rascal Flatts.

Singer-songwriter Lee Greenwood will perform, along with American tenor Christopher Macchio singing the National Anthem, according to Politico.

“At the ‘Make America Great Again Victory Rally,’ singer songwriter and longtime Trump ally Kid Rock, disco band Village People, singer songwriter Billy Ray Cyrus and Greenwood will perform,” the outlet noted on Wednesday.

“At the ‘Liberty Ball,’ country singer Jason Aldean, Village People and a ‘surprise musical guest’ are listed as performers. Country band Rascal Flatts and country music star Parker McCollum will perform at the ‘Commander-in-Chief Ball.’ And singer songwriter Gavin DeGraw is the headliner for the ‘Starlight Ball,’” it noted.

The Village People also announced on Monday that they will be performing live at multiple inauguration events this weekend.

The band’s hit song “Y.M.C.A.” became a renewed hit as part of Trump’s dance during his presidential campaign rallies.

“We know this wont [sic] make some of you happy to hear, however we believe that music is to be performed without regard to politics,” Victor Willis, the band’s frontman and lead singer, wrote on Facebook. “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.  

“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.”

The band revealed last month that it planned to perform at Trump events but did not reveal details until Monday.

“We believe that music is non-political and that YMCA is a song that may help bring the country together. Therefore, we will participate [in] several inaugural activities,” the Village People said in an emailed statement at the time, according to NBC News.

One confirmed event where the Village People will play includes Turning Point USA’s Inaugural-Eve Ball on Saturday at 8 p.m. in Washington.

RSBN previously reported that superstar country recording artist Carrie Underwood has announced plans to perform at the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump. The “American Idol” alum is scheduled to sing “America the Beautiful” at the ceremony.
