Village People will perform at Donald Trump's inauguration amid a long-standing feud between frontman Victor Willis and his former bandmates.
The Village People—the band behind one of Trump’s favorite hits, “Y.M.C.A.”—will perform at a pre-inauguration event.
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.
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.
"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.
The band once rejected Trump. Now they’ve embraced the healing power (and “financial benefits”) of his passion for “Y.M.C.A.”
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.
The musical troupe is generally comprised of six members, each wearing a different costume evocative of a certain macho male persona and suggestive fantasy archetype. Village Peop
The chart-topping group once dunked on Trump for using its track at his rallies. Four years later, the band is giving him a live show at his second inauguration.
The next four years will be a journey through the unknown. Some will get lost. But if we shine the light for each other, we can find the way.
