In two days' time, Wednesday, January 20, to be exact, Joe Biden will officially become the 46th president of the United States.
As such, we'll all have his televised inauguration special to look forward to - and the star-studded lineup for the event just keeps getting better!
The president-elect's inaugural committee announced on Sunday that the likes of Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda and former NBA star Kareem Abdul-Jabbar will be making an appearance on the night.
According to the committee, Miranda will "recite a classic work during the program."
The new names are an addition to the already-stellar lineup initially announced on January 14, which includes hitmakers such as Lady Gaga and Jennifer Lopez.
"Lady Gaga is a one-of-a kind artist, performer, and a trailblazer in beauty and fashion," the committee said of Gaga.
"She is also an outspoken activist, philanthropist, and supporter of many important issues including mental health, LGBTQ+ rights, HIV/AIDS awareness, and body image issues," it added.
"During the Obama-Biden Administration, she worked closely with President-elect Biden's 'It’s On Us' campaign to address sexual assault on college campuses."
Lady Gaga will sing the national anthem as Biden and Kamala Harris are sworn into office on the Capitol's West Front.
"Jennifer Lopez, considered one of the most influential Latin artists in the country, is an award-winning actress, singer, dancer, producer, and businesswoman hailing originally from New York City," the committee added of Lopez.
"Lopez and her partner Alex Rodriguez have been outspoken about the disproportionate impact of coronavirus on Latinos and the need to contain the virus, rebuild the economy, and unify the country," it continued.
Lopez will also be performing at the ceremony.
Other musicians who will be in attendance include Jon Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen, Justin Timberlake, Demi Lovato, Foo Fighters, and John Legend.
Moreover, chef Jose Andres and Kim Ng, the first female general manager of an MLB team have also been included in the lineup.
Tom Hanks is set to host the 90-minute prime-time TV event titled Celebrating America. Actresses Kerry Washington and Eva Longoria will also be hosting.
Inauguration Day will be more low-key than in previous years considering the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. There will also be extra security as a result of the recent Capitol riots.
In fact, the inaugural ball that usually takes place as part of the day will not be taking place this year.
Rehearsals for Inauguration Day had reportedly been rescheduled due to security concerns. Furthermore, a seven-foot-tall fence has been put in place around the Capitol, and tens of thousands of National Guard members are set to secure the building.
Wednesday will "showcase the American people’s resilience, heroism, and unified commitment to coming together as a nation to heal and rebuild," the inauguration committee says.
Celebrating America will air on all major cable and news channels and on Biden's inauguration website.
