The Presidential Inaugural Committee has just announced the 'initial' lineup for the WE ARE ONE: THE OBAMA INAUGURAL CELEBRATION AT THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL on January 18. Here is the exact understated listing as it was released (in alphabetical order):
Musical performers scheduled for the event include Beyonce, Mary J. Blige, Bono, Garth Brooks, Sheryl Crow, Renee Fleming, Josh Groban, Herbie Hancock, Heather Headley, John Legend, Jennifer Nettles, John Mellencamp, Usher Raymond IV, Shakira, Bruce Springsteen, James Taylor, will.i.am, and Stevie Wonder. Among those reading historical passages will be Jamie Foxx, Martin Luther King III, Queen Latifah and Denzel Washington. (I don't see Jimmy Buffet on this list, so the coast is clear - it should be a great show.)
What's missing here? Well, the time of the event for one, although I've heard it may be around noon. Also details about facilities, jumbo screens, entrance locations, security details, what you can bring, etc. Basically just about everything except the location and this initial list of performers.
On Sunday evening from 7:00 - 9:00 p.m. Eastern, HBO will broadcast the show using an open signal, meaning you can see it if you have cable or satellite TV. (Hey, that conflicts with the Ravens/Steelers game! I guess these folks aren't football fans).
More to come, we hope.
