American disco group Village People and British superstar Robbie Williams are among the artists set to perform at Friday’s World Cup draw in Washington DC.
The Village People are due to perform their iconic 1970s song ‘YMCA’, which has more recently become synonymous with president Donald Trump’s campaign rallies.
The draw for the 2026 World Cup, which will feature 48 nations, takes place at the Kennedy Center, at 17:00 GMT (12:00 local time).
Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli, who performed as part of Leicester City’s Premier League title-winning celebrations, is also on the bill alongside former Pussycat Dolls singer Nicole Scherzinger.
The show will be co-hosted by supermodel and Emmy Award winner Heidi Klum and actor and comedian Kevin Hart, with actor and producer Danny Ramirez set to interview those in attendance.
The 2026 World Cup runs from 11 June to 19 July and will be jointly hosted by the United States, Mexico and Canada.
