Kid Rock to perform at Donald Trump's inaugural celebrations
Kid Rock has frequently referred to Donald Trump as a "great friend" and one of his "besties." He was one of the first mainstream entertainers to support the MAGA spearhead during his 2016 White House run.
Rock told Rolling Stone in 2016, "I’m digging Donald Trump. My feeling: Let the business guy run it like a business. And his campaign has been entertaining as s**t."
Moreover, in November 2024, the rocker went viral for a lewd video celebrating Trump's win.
Apart from Rock, the 1970s disco group and longtime Trump favorite, Village People, is also slated to perform twice during his inauguration weekend. The band’s 1978 earworm, 'YMCA', gave birth to "The Trump Dance" and was frequently played throughout the 2024 campaign, according to the New York Post.
Billy Ray Cyrus is also a part of the lineup.
