Broadway star Jennifer Holiday, the Piano Guys and the Frontmen of Country will also be performing at the event dubbed 'The Make America Great Again! Welcome Celebration'.

AceShowbiz - President-elect Donald Trump's pre-inauguration concert at Washington, D.C.'s Lincoln Memorial sees some bigger names added to its lineup. The Inaugural Committee announced on Friday, January 13 that country artists Toby Keith and Lee Greenwood, and southern rock band 3 Doors Down are among the artists who will perform at the event, which will be held on Thursday, January 19.

"I don't apologize for performing for our country or military," Keith said in a statement. "I performed at events for previous presidents Bush and Obama and over 200 shows in Iraq and Afghanistan for the USO." Meanwhile, Greenwood felt honored to be part of the event as he said, "I'm honored to be part of history again and sing for President-elect Donald Trump. This is a time to overcome challenges in our country and band together."

Dubbed "The Make America Great Again! Welcome Celebration", the Thursday concert will also feature Broadway star Jennifer Holiday, The Piano Guys and The Frontmen of Country. Actor Jon Voight, presumably the most vocal and high-profile Hollywood backer of Trump, will also be in attendance at the event.

"President-elect Trump has made it clear that this inaugural is of, by and for the American people. The 58th Inaugural will celebrate American history and heritage, while setting the course to a brighter and bolder future for all Americans," Tom Barrack, Trump's chairman of the Presidential Inaugural Committee, said in a statement. "Above all, it will serve as tribute to one of our greatest attributes: the peaceful transition of partisan power."

The celebration will also include military band performances and a firework show. In addition, there will be another event to be held on the same day called "Voices of the People", which will feature a number of marching bands and related troupes. Both of these events are open to public.
