Later today, Donald Trump will be officially sworn in as the 45th president of the United States of America.
If you can’t make it to the Lincoln Memorial for the concert in person but would like to take in the historic event, here is everything you need to know…
What is a presidential inauguration?
The newly elected US president is sworn into office by the Chief Justice of the United States every four years at noon (17:00 GMT) on 20 January, as prescribed by the Constitution.
As part of the ceremony, the incoming president swears an oath to uphold the constitution as the peaceful transition of power is carried out on the steps of the US Capitol.
The ceremony will then be followed by a parade down Pennsylvania Avenue.
What is planned?
- Mr Trump attends service at St John’s Episcopal Church near the White House
- Mr Trump and his wife, Melania, have morning coffee with President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama. The couples will then take a motorcade to the Capitol
- 9:30am (14:30 GMT) Inauguration ceremony begins with musical performances
- 11:30am (16:30 GMT) Opening remarks followed by Supreme Court Justice swearing in Mr Pence
- Noon (17:00 GMT) Mr Trump recites the oath of office, administered by Chief Justice Roberts. He will then deliver his inaugural address
- 3pm-5pm (20:00 – 22:00 GMT) Mr Trump and Mr Pence will embark on a 1.5 mile (2.4km) parade down Pennsylvania Avenue
- (00:00-04:00 GMT) Mr Trump, Mr Pence and their wives will attend three official inaugural balls
Who will (and won’t) be attending?
President Obama and the first lady will both attend the ceremony along with members of Congress and other key political figures.
Hillary Clinton, who lost to Mr Trump in November, is expected to attend with former president Bill Clinton.
George W Bush and his wife, Laura, as well as Jimmy Carter have also confirmed they will attend the ceremony.
However, George HW Bush will miss the event due to ill health.
More than 50 House Democrats will also not be in attendance after publicly refusing in the aftermath of a feud between Mr Trump and civil rights activist John Lewis.
Who is performing at the event?
Toby Keith, 3 Doors Down, and The Frontmen of Country have been confirmed for the concert, while Jackie Evancho and the Radio City Rockettes will perform at the actual inauguration.
