“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,” Program Executive Stephanie Cutter said in a statement, the outlet reported. “These artists are committed to engaging with, registering and mobilizing voters to get us over the finish line in November.” (RELATED: ‘It’s Official’: Andrew Yang Added To DNC Speaker List)
Along with the celebrities, a 57-member youth choir will perform “The Star Spangled” banner.
Organizers said the performers will sing new songs and classic songs throughout the four days of the convention. Most of the convention will occur virtually due to the coronavirus pandemic. The convention was originally set to take place in Milwaukee.
Hudson, Porter and Legend have already participated in performances at fundraising events hosted by presidential candidate and former Vice President Joe Biden.
