While there are few actually confirmed details as of now, there's apparently a massive, star-studded "We The People" concert being planned for Miami on the day of Donald Trump's inauguration. The idea is to counter Trump's inauguration and garner higher television ratings than the swearing-in. Normally, the presidential inaugurals carry several a-list acts, but Trump has had issues booking artists to perform. So far, the only confirmed acts are Jackie Evancho (singing the National Anthem), the Rockettes, and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
Rumored artists include Beyoncé, Katy Perry, Madonna, Lady Gaga, and Elton John.
[...]To add insult to injury, concert promoter Mark Ross is reportedly "in the process of putting together a large-scale concert called 'We the People' to directly complete with Donald Trump's inauguration," Politico reports. Ross doesn't have any performers announced yet, although a person familiar with the planning leaked that "the talent is banging on our doors to do this." Then again, the communications director for the Presidential Inaugural Committee, Boris Epshteyn, also bragged that "first class entertainers are eager to participate in the inaugural events," and we all know how that's going. While artists and concert promoters are free to do whatever they'd like, this still strikes me as being rather petty. Donald Trump won the election and he was elected president of the United States. He will continue to be president of the United States even if nobody watches him be sworn in because they're too distracted by the likes of Madonna and Lady Gaga. A mega-concert cannot change the fact that he won more Electoral College votes than Hillary Clinton did.

So much for the left’s fake “patriotism.”
Can’t wait to see the pictures of the mess that they’ll leave behind.
Awesome. It’ll be a who’s who of who to boycott.
Enjoy the backlash you ignorant sanctimonious fools.
Well isn’t that special?
A bunch of gazillionaires telling us what they think
Miami sounds like an easier target for some lone wolf ISIS jihadis.
Just saying all those DC protesters would be a lot more comfortable and warmer in Miami.
The “Death to America” people.
i say get a cruise ship and take them all to Cuba!
WHOOOO HOOOOO !!!!! You are exactly correct.
weirdos and queers
Hopefully Miami will have a tropical rainstorm and gale force winds....
I’m neither insulted nor injured.
If Al Gore shows up, it might start snowing.
Thought the title read ‘Maga-concert’. I was ready to hit the fake news button...
What a bunch of classless jerks.
Good. If they’re all in Miami they won’t be in DC stinking up the place and trying to ruin Trump’s festivities.
Guess they never really believed we were ‘stronger together’.
lol
Isis, Al Qaeda, Boko Haram, Hezbollah... are you listening?
Good. Double-down. Apparently, the ass-kicking that middle America gave these clowns didn’t register.
