The Village People—the band behind one of Trump’s favorite hits, “Y.M.C.A.”—will perform at a pre-inauguration event.

Village People, the American disco group whose hits like "Y.M.C.A" have been staples at Trump rallies, defended their decision to perform during Trump's inauguration.

The Village People are set to perform 'Y.M.C.A.' at a Trump inauguration event, reversing their previous cease-and-desist order. Lead singer Victor Willis explained their decision as an effort to use music to bring people together during a time of division.

"Y.M.C.A." is known to be a favorite of Donald Trump's, and its singer plans to be on hand for the president-elect's swearing in.

The band once rejected Trump. Now they’ve embraced the healing power (and “financial benefits”) of his passion for “Y.M.C.A.”

Village People had previously sent cease-and-desist orders to Donald Trump in a failed attempt to get him to stop playing “Y.M.C.A.” without the group’s permission.

A host of big-name performers including Kid Rock and country singer Jason Aldean will be making their way to Washington, D.C., to perform at presidential inauguration events over the weekend. The Trump Vance Inaugural Committee unveiled most of the lineup Wednesday.

Now, The Village People will be performing at one of Trump’s inauguration events despite having sent the incoming president a cease-and-desist letter in 2023 and supporting Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign.

What does that mean for Donald Trump’s inauguration? Queue the Village People and social media titans – and forget the mittens and scarves, following a last-minute decision to move the ceremony indoors.

Several other well-known artists are performing at one of the inaugural balls including Rascal Flatts, Gavin DeGraw, Jason Aldean, The Village People and Nelly. Rapper Snoop Dogg performed at a pre-inaugural "Crypto Ball" on Friday night .
