Kid Rock, Village People, and More Will Perform Today
On the eve of his presidential inauguration, Donald Trump welcomed supporters to Washington, D.C.’s Capital One Arena Sunday (Jan. 19) for the Make America Great Again victory rally.
Ardent Trump supporter Kid Rock is just one of the musical acts who took the stage during today’s event. The “Cowboy” singer (born Bob Ritchie) wrote on social media that he was looking forward to performing for “WE THE PEOPLE.”
Legendary disco group Village People also performed their signature song, “Y.M.C.A.” The 1978 hit became synonymous with the president-elect on the campaign trail, as he was often filmed dancing to it at rallies.
