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.

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.

The band once rejected Trump. Now they’ve embraced the healing power (and “financial benefits”) of his passion for “Y.M.C.A.”

"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.

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.

A host of big-name performers including Kid Rock and country singer Jason Aldean will be making their way to Washington, D.C., to perform at presidential inauguration events over the weekend. The Trump Vance Inaugural Committee unveiled most of the lineup Wednesday.

Country music star Carrie Underwood will perform “America the Beautiful” at Donald Trump’s inauguration next week and the 1970s hitmakers Village People will perform at two inaugural events.

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.
