Next week’s four-day Democratic National Convention will be more than a little musical, with performances from Leon Bridges, The Chicks, Common, Billie Eilish, Jennifer Hudson, John Legend and others, officials said Friday morning.

In the wake of the novel coronavirus pandemic, the DNC — like the Republican National Convention – was postponed from its original summer date and overhauled out of health concerns about large gatherings.

The Democratic convention, which will see former Vice President Joe Biden and California Sen. Kamala Harris nominated as the presidential ticket against Donald Trump, will be based in the original location of Milwaukee but include virtual appearances from politicians, activists and celebrities around the country.

The musical acts are expected to similarly perform next week from various remote locations. A 57-member youth choir will join them for a Monday night performance of the National Anthem.
