Donald Trump is set to be sworn in as US president for the second time on 20 January in Washington DC. The day is a national holiday as it coincides with Martin Luther King Jr Day, promising a spectacle full of pomp, pageantry, and entertainment.
At past inaugurations, Mr. Trump faced challenges in attracting celebrity attendees, but this year, a number of political figures and world leaders are expected to be present. Outgoing President Joe Biden will attend, along with all living former US presidents, including Barack Obama, George W Bush, and Bill Clinton. This year, Mr. Trump has also invited world leaders like Nigel Farage and Elon Musk.
Musical performances are a key feature of the event, with renowned singers like Carrie Underwood and Christopher Macchio scheduled to perform. In the past, stars like Beyonce, Lady Gaga, and John Legend have graced the stage. Additionally, Victor Willis of the Village People has confirmed his band’s participation in the inauguration activities.
Inaugural events may include appearances from returning performers like Jackie Evancho and Lee Greenwood, as well as potential new additions like Kid Rock and Mary Millben. There’s even speculation on whether Kanye West, a previous supporter of Mr. Trump, may make an appearance.
While Joe Biden’s inauguration last year featured a prime-time TV special hosted by Tom Hanks, it remains unclear if a similar program will accompany Mr. Trump’s inauguration this year. Anticipation is high for a day full of celebrations, performances, and historical significance as Donald Trump prepares to take on the highest office in the nation once again.
