Many celebrities will perform on stage for the inauguration of Donald Trump, who will become the 47th president of the United States on Monday.
Like an air of revenge. Eight years after his first inauguration, Donald Trump will become the 47th president of the United States on Monday, culminating in four days of festivities in Washington but turned upside down by polar cold: it’s inside the Capitol, not outside , that he will take the oath.
The American billionaire must take the oath Monday noon before delivering his inaugural speech. The forecast polar cold (between -12°C and -6°C), however, forced him to move the ceremony, which is still held on the steps of the Capitol, to the interior of Congress, under its rotunda. This is where Trumpist supporters entered by force on January 6, 2021 during the certification of the victory at the time of Joe Biden.

The outgoing 46th president and his vice-president Kamala Harris will then say goodbye. Already on January 20, 1985, a cold wave forced the then Republican president, Ronald Reagan, to retreat under the rotunda of the Capitol.

What is the program?
Exceptionally, the inauguration of Donald Trump, and that of his future vice-president JD Vance, will be broadcast at the Capital One Arena, a large sports and concert hall with 20,000 seats in Washington. The one who will be the 47th president has promised that he “ [rejoindrait] the public after [sa] taking the oath.” Some 220,000 tickets had already been distributed to spectators gathered on the National Mall, a huge esplanade between the Capitol and the obelisk of the Washington Monument.
The new president is expected Monday evening at three galas and around ten other parties are planned in town. Sunday afternoon, Donald Trump must have a final meeting, as he likes during the electoral campaign, at the Capital One Arena. And on Saturday night, he was scheduled to host a fireworks reception at one of his golf clubs near Washington, Virginia. Finally, a ceremony on Tuesday at the Washington Cathedral must conclude these festivities.

American singing stars
To liven up the celebrations, a double dose of the legendary group Village People is planned: first at the Sunday meeting then at the gala on Monday. Their famous disco hit “YMCA” (1978) should be heard, a must-have during the Trump campaign.
Country superstar Carrie Underwood and tenor Christopher Macchio will participate in the inauguration ceremony. The first must perform the patriotic song “America The Beautiful”, the second, the “Star-Spangled Banner”, the American anthem, accompanied by the Marine Corps choir and orchestra. Lee Greenwood is also expected to take the stage to perform his “God Bless the USA.”
Finally, after the goodbyes of the outgoing governance, three events will take place. During the Commander-In-Chief Ball, the band Rascal Flatts and singer Parker McCollum will perform. Then it will be the turn of the Village People and Jason Aldean to take the stage for the Liberty Ball. According to the American press, a “surprise performance” must also take place at this time. Finally, Gavin DeGraw will sing for the Starlight Ball. His title “I Don’t Want to Be”, which became the theme song for the Scott Brothers series, is now a classic.
Marion Maréchal and Éric Zemmour expected
Donald Trump put his stamp on his inauguration ceremony: he invited the tech multi-billionaires. In addition to Elon Musk, the richest man in the world and financial and political supporter, the boss of Amazon, Jeff Bezos, of Meta, Mark Zuckerberg of Apple, Tim Cook and, according to the press, Shou Chew of TikTok, which threatens to disconnect in the United States on Sunday for lack of guarantees from the outgoing government of Joe Biden. The latter and his wife Jill Biden, as well as all the former presidents – Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama – and their wives, except Michelle Obama, will of course be there.
Heads of state and foreign governments are traditionally never officially invited to inaugurations. But the Trump team has personally invited far-right Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who will make the trip, her Hungarian counterpart Viktor Orban, who will not come, and Argentinian President Javier Milei. Politicians from the far right in Europe have announced their presence: the French Marion Maréchal and Éric Zemmour, the British Nigel Farage and a leader of the German AfD, Tino Chrupalla.
