Here's everyone performing at the presidential inauguration [View all]

President-elect Donald Trump is scheduled to be sworn into office on Jan. 20 — and unlike his first inauguration in 2017, which reportedly struggled to book high-profile performers, several well-known artists will partake in this year's inaugural events.

"The Trump Vance Inaugural Committee is proud to announce that some of our nation's most iconic [musicians] will be participating in the inaugural celebrations," said co-chairs Steve Witkoff and Kelly Loeffler in a statement provided to NPR. "This monumental weekend will commemorate President Trump's historic victory and the 60th Presidential Inauguration with a celebration of music, unity, and patriotism, ushering in America's new Golden Age."

Below is a list of the artists scheduled to perform throughout inaugural events, not including a surprise musical guest set to appear at the Liberty Ball.

Carrie Underwood
Christopher Macchio
Lee Greenwood
Kid Rock
Village People
Billy Ray Cyrus
Liberty University's Praise Choir
Jason Aldean
Rascal Flatts
Parker McCollum
Gavin DeGraw

So you know who to boycott, if you weren't already. Note that MILEY CYRUS has been openly critical of the orange slime.
