Village People will perform at Donald Trump's inauguration amid a long-standing feud between frontman Victor Willis and his former bandmates.
Village People, the American disco group whose hits like "Y.M.C.A" have been staples at Trump rallies, defended their decision to perform during Trump's inauguration.
The Village People—the band behind one of Trump’s favorite hits, “Y.M.C.A.”—will perform at a pre-inauguration event.
Now, The Village People will be performing at one of Trump’s inauguration events despite having sent the incoming president a cease-and-desist letter in 2023 and supporting Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign.
"Y.M.C.A." is known to be a favorite of Donald Trump's, and its singer plans to be on hand for the president-elect's swearing in.
The chart-topping group once dunked on Trump for using its track at his rallies. Four years later, the band is giving him a live show at his second inauguration.
The band once rejected Trump. Now they’ve embraced the healing power (and “financial benefits”) of his passion for “Y.M.C.A.”
The Village People are set to perform 'Y.M.C.A.' at a Trump inauguration event, reversing their previous cease-and-desist order. Lead singer Victor Willis explained their decision as an effort to use music to bring people together during a time of division.
