Toby Keith, 3 Doors Down among acts announced for Trump inauguration concert
Story highlights
- Donald Trump's Presidential Inaugural Committee announced more acts for their inauguration festivities on Friday
- Toby Keith, 3 Doors Down, Jennifer Holliday and The Piano Guys are among those expected to perform
The concert,
which takes place at the Lincoln Memorial on January 19, has been
dubbed "The Make America Great Again! Welcome Celebration." Jennifer
Holliday, The Piano Guys and The Frontmen of Country are among the other
musicians performing. Actor Jon Voight will also be making an
appearance.
"President-elect
Trump has made it clear that this inaugural is of, by, and for the
American people. The 58th Inaugural will celebrate American history and
heritage, while setting the course to a brighter and bolder future for
all Americans," Tom Barrack, the chairman of the Presidential Inaugural
Committee, said in a press release. "Above all, it will serve as tribute
to one of our greatest attributes, the peaceful transition of partisan
power."
Another event to be held
the same day, called Voices of the People, will feature a number of
marching bands and related troupes.
Both of these events are open to the public.
The
announced lineup for the concert is a stark contrast with the star
power assembled for President Barack Obama's first inauguration in 2009,
when a similar concert featured appearances from Jon Bon Jovi, Bruce
Springsteen, Mary J. Blige, Garth Brooks, U2, Usher, Stevie Wonder,
Denzel Washignton and Tom Hanks, among others.
