MILWAUKEE, WI—The 2020 Democratic National Convention stage is shaping up to be the most creative, innovative and engaging program in history, featuring musical performances from some of the most popular artists in the nation, convention organizers announced today. The performers join a line-up of popular leaders, rising stars and inspiring Americans announced earlier this week as Democrats design a program to unite the country 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.
