Donald Trump 2025 Inauguration As 47th US President: Check Out The Full Lineup Of Performers

President-elect Donald Trump is set to be sworn in for his second term on Monday at noon, and this inauguration promises a star-studded lineup, a stark contrast to his first in 2017. Carrie Underwood, an American Idol winner, is among the big names performing, set to grace the event with "America the Beautiful."

The ceremony will also feature performances by the Armed Forces Chorus, the United States Naval Academy Glee Club, and opera singer Christopher Macchio, who will deliver the national anthem. Other artists, including singer-songwriter Lee Greenwood and choirs from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, are scheduled to contribute musically throughout the inauguration events.

The celebration, spanning four days in Washington, D.C., will showcase a variety of performances. A campaign-style rally on Sunday will see the likes of Kid Rock, The Village People, Billy Ray Cyrus, and Lee Greenwood. Liberty University's Praise Choir is also set to perform. The festivities continue into the inaugural balls, where artists such as Jason Aldean, Rascal Flatts, Parker McCollum, Gavin DeGraw, and rapper Nelly will perform, marking a significant lineup of musical talent for the occasion.

Moreover, the inaugural committee has confirmed that "Y.M.C.A." by The Village People, a song that has become synonymous with Trump events, will feature at one of the inaugural balls. This diverse array of performances highlights a successful effort by Trump's team to secure notable musical acts, contrasting the challenges faced in 2017.

In 2017, Trump's inauguration struggled to attract big-name artists following a divisive election, resulting in a modest lineup. Jackie Evancho, a runner-up on "America's Got Talent," performed the national anthem, while the Mormon Tabernacle Choir sang "America the Beautiful." This year's robust roster of performers underscores a significant shift in the entertainment aspect of the inauguration.

To provide context, previous inaugurations have also seen their share of star power. President Joe Biden's ceremony in 2021, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, featured Lady Gaga and Jennifer Lopez, despite limitations on celebratory events. And former President Barack Obama's inaugurations boasted performances by legends like Aretha Franklin, Beyoncé, Kelly Clarkson, and James Taylor, setting a precedent for featuring prominent musical talent in these national ceremonies.

As the inauguration of President-elect Trump approaches, the inclusion of celebrated artists like Carrie Underwood and others signifies a festive and inclusive event, marking the beginning of another term for Trump amidst a show of unity and patriotism through music.
