Democrats Announce Musical Performances for 2020 Democratic National Convention: “Uniting America”
Artists to bring talents
to the biggest stage in convention history,
uniting behind Joe Biden’s vision for a
better America for all
Viewers can expect inspiring performances from
artists including Leon Bridges, The Chicks,
Common, Billie Eilish, Jennifer Hudson, John
Legend, Billy Porter, Maggie Rogers, Prince
Royce, Stephen Stills and more. The musical acts
will be featured across all four nights of the
convention, which will air August 17-20, 2020.
“In just three days, we will kick off a
Democratic National Convention that will look
and feel very different than past conventions.
It will truly be a convention across America,
and these incredible artists will help us tell
the story of where we are as a country today
under Donald Trump’s failed leadership, and the
promise of what we can and should be with Joe
Biden as president,” said Stephanie Cutter, 2020
Democratic National Convention Program
Executive. “These artists are committed to
engaging with, registering and mobilizing voters
to get us over the finish line in November.”
The performances—ranging from renditions of the
national anthem, to American classics, to new
songs—are expected to draw in new viewers who
may not have tuned into conventions of previous
years, ensuring the 2020 Democratic National
Convention will engage more Americans than ever
before.
In addition to the top acts, Monday night will
feature a unique performance of our National
Anthem from youth choir members across America.
DNCC partner Commonwealth Youthchoirs has
assembled a 57-member choir of young people from
all walks of life, and each member will
represent one of the 57 states and territories
as they perform from remote locations across the
nation.
