Village People, the disco band whose “Y.M.C.A.” is like a new national anthem, is performing during Donald Trump’s inauguration festivities.

President-elect Donald Trump closed out his "Make America Great Again Victory Rally" address by dancing with the Village People in a performance of the group's 'Y.M.C.A.' disco hit.

The president-elect hosted the “Make American Great Again Victory Rally” at Washington’s Capital One Arena on Sunday, less than 24 hours before Inauguration Day. As Trump ended his final speech before taking the White House for a second term, the band Village People came on stage to perform their 1978 disco hit “Y.M.C.A.” live.

The song actually came out about 46 years ago, in October 1978 and reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in early 1979. In 2024, Trump's frequent use of the song drove it to No. 1 on the Billboard Dance Digital Song Sales Chart, where it stayed for five weeks.
