Following the performances of Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez and Garth Brooks during the inauguration of President Joe Biden, Hollywood star Tom Hanks will present a first TV presentation featuring performances by Justin Timberlake, Demi Lovato, Jon Bon Jovi and Ant Clemons.
The special title, titled ‘Celebrating America’, lasts 90 minutes and will be broadcast live on ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC and MSNBC from 20:30 to 22:00 ET / PT.
“This inauguration provides a unique opportunity to highlight the resilience and spirit of an America United,” Presidential Committee Chairman Tony Allen said in a statement.
‘We’ve seen over the past year how many heroes have taken to the front lines and served their fellow Americans. That is why we tell their stories, spread their collective light and celebrate the best of our country and its people with this first program.
“Our first priority is safety. While many of us will look safe from our homes, we create real moments of connection that highlight a new inclusive American era of leadership that represents work for and by all Americans,” Allen continues.
A fundraising event before the inauguration, organized by the Biden-Harris team, hosted a live concert of the concept “We the People” on January 17, hosted by Keegan-Michael Key and Debra Messing.
The concert included performances by AJR, Michael Bivins, Connie Britton, Sophia Bush, Jaime Camil, Fall Out Boy, Ben Harper, Carole King, Kal Penn, James Taylor and Will.i.Am.
Live stream participants were asked to make a donation to support the first Biden-Harris program in exchange for a link.
