Billie Eilish, the Chicks, Maggie Rogers, John Legend, Leon Bridges, Jennifer Hudson, Common, Stephen Stills, and others are set to perform at next week’s virtual Democratic National Convention, according to CBS News and Variety. The 2020 DNC takes place August 17-20 and will be available to watch online.
According to the reports, Stephanie Cutter, 2020 Democratic National Convention program executive, said in a statement, “These artists are committed to engaging with, registering, and mobilizing voters to get us over the finish line in November.”
At the convention, former Vice President Joe Biden is expected to accept the Democratic Party’s nomination for president. Biden recently selected Senator Kamala Harris as his vice-presidential running mate.
This year, Biden has held virtual campaign events featuring David Crosby, Sheryl Crow, Willie Nelson, Diplo, and others.
