According to Politico, Mark Ross, son of the late Time Warner CEO Steve Ross, is planning a massive concert for Jan. 20, 2017. That Friday just happens to be an important day for Donald Trump as his Inauguration ceremony it set to take place at the very same time. According to Politico Playbook, plenty of A-list type acts are very eager to participate in the "We the People" concert. This event is purposely being planned to upstage the President-elect's big day. Ross, who happens to be a big Democratic supporter, states that he is putting together an inauguration day show.
It just so happens to coincide with the President-elect's plans. Performances will be announced shortly.
Democrat Mark Ross is planning the event
According to a December 22nd Facebook post by Ross, he is working on "Getting together a really big show. Stay tuned." He added that "We’re working hard on bringing together the best possible talent." Some names being thrown around are big Hillary Clinton supporters like Bruce Springsteen, Katy Perry, Jennifer Lopez, Jon Bon Jovi, Lady Gaga, Beyonce, and Jay-Z. No acts have officially been announced.
Donald Trump struggling to secure performers
Reports have been all over the net that Trump is having a very tough time securing big "A-list" talent to perform at his event.
Performers like Elton John, Celine, Dion, and Andrea Bocelli have reportedly stated they will not show. So far only three performances have officially been set for the actual Inauguration ceremony. America’s Got Talent singer Jackie Evancho will be there to sing the "Star Spangled Banner," the Radio City Rockettes, and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir are set to sing at the swearing-in portion of the ceremony.
Trump is not worried
Trump has since tweeted that he is not concerned about securing the big performers, and would rather celebrate with "people." His December 23rd tweet stated "The so-called "A" list celebrities are all wanting tixs to the inauguration, but look what they did for Hillary, NOTHING. I want the PEOPLE!"
