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 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.

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.

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.

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.

Yesterday, Carrie Underwood and Lee Greenwood (the "God Bless the U.S.A." guy) were announced as performers for Trump's inauguration. Another announcement kind of flew under the radar and that's the Village People. The Village People announced they'd also be there.
