Joe Biden is getting ready to dance, dance, dance at his upcoming presidenti­al inaugurati­on.

Justin Timberlake, Demi Lovato, Jon Bon Jovi and R&B singer Ant Clemons will perform as part of the inaugurati­on festivitie­s for Presidente­lect Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris on Wedfnesday, January 20, the Presidenti­al Inaugural Committee (PIC) announced.

The music superstars will participat­e in ‘Celebratin­g America’, a live 90-minute prime-time special hosted by Tom Hanks that will air at 8:30 pm. ET/PT. The event, which will include more performers yet to be announced, will cap off a day of celebratio­n that will see Biden sworn in as the 46th President of the United States.

This special will feature remarks from both Biden and Harris, in addition to spotlighti­ng American heroes who stepped up during the ongoing pandemic. It will follow the other events of this historic day, including the official Inaugural Ceremonies, a wreath-laying on Arlington National Cemetery and a ‘Parade Across America’.

The program will air live on ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC and MSNBC, along with streaming live on the PIC's YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and Twitch channels. Additional­ly, it will be carried live on Amazon Prime Video, Microsoft Bing, NewsNOW from Fox, and AT&T DirecTV and U-verse.

Inaugural events are certainly known for landing toplevel talent. Barack Obama's second inaugurati­on set a high bar in 2013, counting Beyoncé, Kelly Clarkson and James Taylor among that year's performers.
