Donald Trump inauguration celebration concert: 3 Doors Down, Jon Voight and more confirmed

The public event will take place the day before the president-elect is sworn into office

A tie-in celebration concert is also going ahead and has assembled a packed bill. Named after the Republican's slogan "Make America Great Again!," the 'Welcome Celebration" will take place at Washington DC's Lincoln Memorial on 19 January hosting the likes of band 3 Doors Down, country singer Toby Keith and actor Jon Voight.

Other singers who have turned down the opportunity to perform include Charlotte Church and The X Factor UK contestant Rebecca Ferguson who wrote an open letter stating she'd only attend should she be able to perform the historically important song "Strange Fruit."

Controversy has surrounded the event ever since The Rockettes revealed they were contractually obliged to perform even if they did not wish to.

Trump's inauguration takes place at the Capitol in Washington, DC. Just last week, Barack Obama held one final party at the White House ahead of his departure from office boasting a list of attendees that would no doubt make the new President very jealous.
