Every celebrity that will be attending Joe Biden’s inauguration
420Doggface has filmed a segment ffs 💀
Joe Biden’s inauguration is finally upon us. Today Trump is ousted from the White House to make way for Biden’s arrival. Although Donald announced that he wouldn’t personally be in attendance, there is still an inauguration to be held – and as you can imagine, every celebrity you could possibly think of wants a slot to perform to get some of that lucrative air time amidst the biggest television moment of 2021 so far.
So, from the expected to the completely unexpected (TikTok skateboard guy, anyone?!), here is a list of every massively famous celebrity performing at president-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration.
John Legend
Join me on January 20 at 8:30pm ET to celebrate the historic inauguration of @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris! #Inauguration2021 https://t.co/FaTgnKcyEe pic.twitter.com/uF1VU6vqfC

The first of many acts that make Trump’s inauguration look like a child’s tea party is John Legend, who will take to the stage to celebrate Joe Biden’s inauguration. This man has many fingers in many pies, so it’s no surprise that he’ll be heading to Washington, but the next one is a bit of a shock to say the least…

If last year you were told that someone by the name of “420Doggface208” would be performing at one of the biggest political events in history, you’d… well you probably wouldn’t be surprised because 2020 was an absolute shit-show, but here we are.
According to TMZ, Biden and his team are big fans of Nathan Apodaca’s viral TikTok in which he skateboards down a road to Fleetwood Mac, and he’s already filmed a special appearance for the event. Going viral in 2020 for the TikTok, it became a massive worldwide trend that even got the likes of Mick Fleetwood and Stevie Nicks involved.
I expect nothing less than a cringeworthy recreation of the same video, on the same road, with the same drink.
Lady Gaga
I am deeply honored to be joining @BidenInaugural on January 20 to sing the National Anthem and celebrate the historic inauguration of @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris! 💙 pic.twitter.com/MfgcG3j4Aa
— Lady Gaga (@ladygaga) January 14, 2021
Trump’s inauguration saw America’s Got Talent contestant Jackie Evancho (me neither) perform the national anthem because nobody else wanted to do it, but for Joe Biden’s inauguration they’ve clearly pulled out the big guns by booking none other than Lady Gaga to perform.
This is going to be a good one I’m sure.
Amanda Gorman

The youngest inaugural poet to ever perform, 22-year-old Amanda Gorman will be reciting a poem for the inauguration ceremony. “The Hill We Climb” is a commentary about the state of modern America, and she even added parts to the poem following the storming of the capitol earlier in January.
“I’m deeply humbled to be taking part in such a historic moment,” she told Teen Vogue. “It’s an honour not only to be the youngest inaugural poet but to be a participant in an inauguration that symbolizes much-needed change, as embodied by President-Elect Biden and Vice President-Elect Harris.”
Bruce Springsteen
Bruce will join our next President and Vice President @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris for #Inauguration2021! Tune in Wednesday January 20 at 8:30pm ET for a night that celebrates our country's rich diversity and resilience. https://t.co/KbTpyEUkT3
— Bruce Springsteen (@springsteen) January 15, 2021
You probably need little introduction, but for those that do – Bruce Springsteen is responsible for some all American classic tunes, from Born to Run to Dancing in the Dark. Judging from Biden’s general vibe, I wouldn’t be surprised if Springsteen was a personal request.
Justin Timberlake
Justin Timberlake is confirmed as a performer at the Biden Inauguration. Please cross your fingers and pray to your Goddess that he’s gonna sing Bye Bye Bye.

Classic Justin or don’t bother, it really is that simple.
Jennifer Lopez
DC Bound … ❤️🤍💙 pic.twitter.com/JmuNX2gYmf
— jlo (@JLo) January 19, 2021
Another of the raft of celebrities flying into Washington DC to watch Biden become president is Jennifer Lopez, who will be there to perform onstage. Jenny from the Block, hopefully.
Eva Longoria
Tonight, join myself and @Lin_Manuel for the Latino Inaugural 2021. You can tune in at 9:30pm ET here https://t.co/JgGmGvPX6j. I hope you can join ❤️ pic.twitter.com/4S8gUOxSdm
— Eva Longoria Baston (@EvaLongoria) January 19, 2021
Actress Eva Longoria will be joined by Hamilton creator Lin Manuel Miranda for the Latino inaugural, taking place a little later than the main proceedings.
Kerry Washington
The first, but not the last.💕
A historic Inauguration day is upon us. Let’s celebrate the women, like Vice President Kamala Harris (will never get sick of saying that!!!!!!😍), who by their example and by their service, open the door wider for women everywhere. pic.twitter.com/kXqbnkfgcN— kerry washington (@kerrywashington) January 20, 2021
Another high profile name added to the lineup for Kamala Harris’ and Joe Biden’s inauguration is Kerry Washington, who will be presenting various sections of proceedings with Eva Longoria.
Demi Lovato
I’m SO honored to announce that I will be joining @JoeBiden & @KamalaHarris for their special event, “Celebrating America” on January 20th at 8:30pm ET/PT ❤️🤍💙 I was left speechless when I was asked to perform! Tune in with various tv networks & live streaming services 🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/YiYmQ43M51
— Demi Lovato (@ddlovato) January 13, 2021
Lovato recently had people a little confused when she announced that she had a song in the works in response to the riots that happened in the capitol. Let’s hope this performance is a little better received.
The Foo Fighters
Announced today, Foo Fighters will be joining the inauguration celebration for @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris. Tune in January 20th at 8:30pm ET. For more details on the event visit: https://t.co/U3JizoSGDC #Inauguration2021 pic.twitter.com/CsAMDx2jSB
— Foo Fighters (@foofighters) January 15, 2021
It never ends. If neither pop music, old American music or TikTok stars aren’t for you then do not fear, for The Foo Fighters will be performing.
Bon Jovi
I am very honored to be part of the Presidential Inauguration tomorrow alongside so many incredible people. Tune in at 8:30pm as we ring in the new Administration of @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris. #Inauguration2021 pic.twitter.com/9RvANRYuEe
— Jon Bon Jovi (@jonbonjovi) January 19, 2021
If anyone’s going to change the lyrics of their classic songs to fit the current political narrative, let it be John Bon Jovi with Livin’ on a Prayer.
Tom Hanks
Tom Hanks will host a TV special marking Joe Biden and Kamala Harris' inauguration, featuring performances from Justin Timberlake and more https://t.co/ouNxLxq4R0 pic.twitter.com/KV7Lbb0LQ7

And finally, we have Tom Hanks, who will be hosting the entire thing (possibly from his bedroom on a webcam, but hopefully not). Has there ever been a bigger gig?
