The Chicks to Perform at 2024 DNC Finale

The Chicks will perform the National Anthem on the final night of the 2024 Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago, marking their second appearance at a DNC after their virtual performance in 2020. Vice President Kamala Harris is set to deliver a historic keynote speech, highlighting the Harris-Walz campaign's vision for the future. The Chicks, formerly known as the Dixie Chicks, are known for their political activism, notably facing backlash in 2003 for criticizing President George W. Bush and the Iraq War. The DNC has featured a host of celebrity appearances, including performances by Pink and host Kerry Washington. The event underscores a shift in the political affiliations of some country music artists and aims to appeal to a diverse electorate. This year’s convention has returned to a live, in-person format, bringing a renewed energy and focus on inclusivity.
