You don’t have to be political to be enamored by President-elect Trump’s inauguration.
It’s already been quite the spectacle watching performers accept and reject Trump’s offer — and those who agreed have been flooded with backlash.
So who exactly will be — and won’t be — taking the stage in Washington, D.C., ahead of Trump’s swearing-in?
Here’s everything you need to know.
Stars who are performing:
Toby Keith
The venerable country crooner is the biggest name on Trump’s inauguration docket. He’ll help jumpstart the week’s festivities as one of the headliners for the free “Make America Great Again!” welcome celebration at the Lincoln Memorial, which begins at 4 p.m. Thursday.
Many of the “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue” singer’s fans were upset he agreed to perform on Trump’s behalf — but Keith doesn’t want to hear it.
“I don’t apologize for performing for our country or military,” he told Entertainment Weekly last week.
3 Doors Down
The largely forgotten 2000s alternative group joins Keith at Thursday’s welcome concert. Once revered for its wildly popular 2000 hit “Kryptonite,” the band mostly dipped out of the public realm of consciousness for years before announcing on Instagram Friday that they’d been tapped to perform at the inauguration.
Worth noting: The group released its first album in five years in March.
The Piano Guys
Another low-key addition, the relatively unknown YouTube sensations felt the need to defend their inclusion at Thursday’s event.
“We love you,” the four-member classical crossover group wrote to fans on its website. “You give our music wings! We sincerely hope and pray for your understanding.”
Sam Moore
Here’s further proof that this week’s performances will be eclectic. The 81-year-old Moore — who made up half of the 1960s soul group Sam & Dave — will take the stage Friday night during one of the two inaugural balls, the Freedom and Liberty Balls, which will be held on two separate floors of the the Walter E. Washington Convention Center starting at 7 p.m.
Moore, a Rock & Roll Hall of Famer, hopes to use his platform to promote national unity.
“I was a participant in the civil rights movement and have seen many positive changes and advancement in my 81 years of living in this wonderful country, but I know we must all join hands and work together with our new President,” he said in a statement.
Lee Greenwood
The 74-year-old has been churning out music for six decades — but he’s likely tapped for the Lincoln Memorial gig for one reason: His 1984 signature song “God Bless the U.S.A.” is an American classic.
Big & Rich
The country duo won’t perform at the “Make America Great Again” bash with others mentioned on this list, but they’re still part of Thursday’s action. They headline the Inaugural Gala in the nation’s capital with a show later that night.
Jon Voight
A staunch Trump supporter throughout his campaign, the actor signed on to give a speech at the National Mall and introduce Rudy Giuliani at some point over the weekend.
“A few things here and there,” he told Philly.com to sum up what he’ll be doing at the inauguration.
Jackie Evancho
She’s not even old enough to vote, but the 16-year-old classical crossover singer — who rose to fame as a 2010 finalist on “America’s Got Talent” — will belt out the National Anthem on Friday before Trump is officially inaugurated.
“I’m so excited,” she said on the “Today” show last month. “It’s going to be awesome.”
Others
The Radio City Rockettes, an “American treasure” according to Trump’s team, are high-kicking their way into the center of the commotion — if they choose to. After one dancer lamented having to attend the inauguration, the Rockettes announced none of their dancers were actually obligated to do so if they didn’t want to. Those who do show up will perform Friday night at the Walter E. Washington Center, as will Grammy-nominated gospel singer Travis Greene.
Tony Orlando, meanwhile, is part of the third inaugural ball — the Armed Services Ball — which also starts at 7 p.m. Friday at National Building Museum.
Other acts covering the two-day event include DJ Ravidrums, who performed at the Super Bowl in 2008 with Paula Abdul, The Frontmen of Country and R&B vocalist Christette Michele.
Stars who are not performing:
Jennifer Holliday
The “Dreamgirls” vocalist was named a performer for Thursday’s gig alongside Keith, 3 Doors Down and company, but backed out less than a day later citing a “lapse in judgment.”
“My only choice must now be to stand with the LGBT Community and to state unequivocally that I WILL NOT PERFORM FOR THE WELCOME CONCERT OR FOR ANY OF THE INAUGURATION FESTIVITIES!” she wrote to fans in an open letter.
Andrea Bocelli
The Italian icon was originally expected to perform on the day of Trump’s inauguration, with Evancho’s mother saying he had been tapped to sing something alongside her daughter.
But nothing was ever made official, and Bocelli made it clear he wasn’t going soon after.
The B-Street Band
The Bruce Springsteen cover band performed at each of President Obama’s inaugural ceremonies hosted in New Jersey and was signed on to do so at Trump’s as well. But the group was overwhelmed with pushback from fans of Springsteen, who is an outspoken critic of Trump, and they ultimately backed out as well.
“Our decision is based SOLELY on the respect and gratitude we have for Bruce and the E Street Band,” they said in a statement.
Others
Elton John, Garth Brooks, Kanye West, Ice T, The Dixie Chicks and George Lopez are among those who were either speculated as potential performers or outspoken in their decision to decline an invite.
Previous inauguration star-power:
Beyoncé, Aretha Franklin and Kelly Clarkson are just some of the household names who performed at President Obama’s two inaugural events.
Luckily, Trump insists he doesn’t want that type of star-power. He tweeted in December that he’s excited for “the PEOPLE!” — not A-listers — to join him at his inauguration.
