The latest inauguration lineup comes after the inaugural committee announced it is producing a 90-minute, prime-time television special to celebrate Biden’s swearing-in.
The TV special is titled “Celebrating America” that will be hosted by Tom Hanks and feature performances from Demi Lovato, Justin Timberlake, Ant Clemons, and Jon Bon Jovi.
Biden’s inaugural committee instructed the public last month to not attempt to view the ceremony in-person because of coronavirus-related concerns.
