The Village People are performing their 1978 hit “Y.M.C.A” at one of Donald Trump’s many inauguration celebrations.

Why the Village People are performing at Donald Trump's inauguration despite their "preferred candidate" losing.

Carrie Underwood and Village People have confirmed they will be performing at the event. Toby Keith and 3 Doors Down played at Trump's first inauguration in 2017. President-elect Donald Trump is set to be inaugurated on January 20, and his team has enlisted the help of some celebrity acts for the ceremony and related events.

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.

The group has seen a resurgence in the popularity of their hit song "Y.M.C.A." recently, after Trump used the music to dance to at his campaign rallies last year. Trump has been playing the song since 2020.

A founding member of the Village People has received threats and hate mail from Democrats over the band’s decision to perform at Donald Trump’s inauguration events.

For nearly 50 years, when most people thought of the Village People, they thought of gay culture. However, now, the band seems to be mostly relevant due to the use of its songs by upcoming president Donald Trump.
