Village People to Play at Trump's Inauguration: A Music Bridge?

Washington DC, USATuesday, January 14, 2025

The Village People, known for their hit song "Y. M. C. A. , " have agreed to perform at multiple events during Donald Trump's inauguration. The band's lead singer, Victor Willis, announced this on Facebook, saying they believe music should be performed without considering politics. One of the events is an Inaugural-Eve Ball hosted by Turning Point USA, where guests include Donald Trump Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard.

Willis had previously defended Trump's use of "Y. M. C. A. " at campaign rallies, stating that the song is not a "gay anthem. " The song gained popularity again in November when it was added to Trump's campaign playlist. The band hopes their music can help unite the country after a divisive election. The band's decision has sparked mixed reactions. Some people appreciate the band for putting politics aside, while others are disappointed. It's unclear if the Village People will perform at any official inaugural events this weekend.
