Village People to Perform at Trump Inauguration

The Village People have confirmed their participation in Donald Trump's inauguration events, performing iconic songs like 'Y.M.C.A.' and 'Macho Man' to promote unity following a divisive election. Despite previously objecting to the use of their music during Trump's first term, the band expressed a desire to bring the country together through their performances. They will appear at Trump's 'Victory Rally' and an inaugural ball, alongside other artists including Carrie Underwood, who will perform 'America the Beautiful.' The group's decision reflects a significant shift, as they had threatened legal action over unauthorized uses of their music in the past. Trump's affinity for the Village People's music has become a hallmark of his campaign rallies, reigniting interest in their songs. However, not all artists have shared the same enthusiasm for their music being associated with Trump, leading to various legal disputes over music rights.
