Katy Perry, Alicia Keys, John Legend, Far East Movement, fun., Nick Cannon, Soul Children of Chicago, Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson, Mindless Behavior, Marc Anthony and members of the cast of 'Glee' are also on the bill.
The Presidential Inaugural Committee made the announcement today (Jan. 11) that the Kids’ Inaugural concert will take place Jan. 19, while the official Inaugural ball is scheduled for Jan. 21. Both events will be held at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, but no further details have been announced.

The Texas native will sing ‘My Country, ‘Tis of Thee' on Jan. 21 at the West Front of the U.S. Capitol. Beyonce and James Taylor will join the 'Don't Rush' singer onstage, performing their versions of the National Anthem and 'America the Beautiful,' respectively.
