CNN and Rolling Stone have reported that John Legend will introduce the vice presidential candidate Tim Walz to the stage on Wednesday with a tribute to one of Walz's home state's most iconic musicians, Prince.
CNN and Deadline also report Pink will headline on Thursday, the final day of the DNC. Harris will be delivering her speech accepting the party's nomination.
Maren Morris, who started in country music but has since distanced herself from the "toxic parts" of the country music industry, has confirmed she will be performing ahead of Walz's speech Wednesday.
"I am honored to be performing at the Democratic National Convention for the first time ever. It’s a moment where we, as a country, can come together and hear rational plans for the future of women’s and LGBTQ rights," she said in a statement to The Tennessean, part of the USA TODAY Network. "We can be inspired by people’s stories and navigate a safe path forward for our children."
DNC performers: Stevie Wonder, Jason Isbell, Patti LaBelle, Lil Jon, Common
Here's who has performed so far at the DNC:
- Jason Isbell: "Something More Than Free"
- Patti LaBelle: "You Are My Friend"
- Common and Jonathan McReynolds: "Fortunate" and "God Is Good"
- Lil Jon: "Turn Down for What" and "Get Low"
- Mickey Guyton: "All American”
- Stevie Wonder: "Higher Ground"
James Taylor was scheduled to take the stage Tuesday, but his performance was scrapped due to timing.
"It became clear, as the evening unfolded, that there wouldn't be time for our 'You've Got a Friend' with cello and voices. Maybe the organizers couldn't anticipate the wild response from the floor of the United Center," Taylor wrote, in part, in an Instagram post. "Anyway, sorry to disappoint."
