Garth Brooks will perform during President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration on Wednesday (Jan. 20). The Country Music Hall of Fame artist announced plans during a Zoom press conference on Monday (Jan. 18).

Lady Gaga and Jennifer Lopez are also confirmed performers for Inauguration Day. A spokesperson for the Inauguration Entertainment Committee talked about how all involved reflect a theme of unity, with Brooks himself saying at one point, "I'm so tired of being divided."

Brooks will perform during the swearing-in ceremony at the Capitol, likely without any musicians to accompany him.

"This is a great day in our household. This is not a political statement. This is a statement of unity," Brooks says.

He wouldn't divulge which songs he was considering playing, but adds that he won't be playing "We Shall Be Free," as he played it during President Obama's 2008 inauguration. Brooks was also asked to perform during President Trump's 2016 inauguration, but said that he couldn't do it, as he had a tour date that conflicted. He's played for every president since Jimmy Carter (with the exception of Ronald Reagan), and wife Trisha Yearwood has also played for several presidents.

Recognizing the political nature of the performance and the day amid a backdrop of unrest at the Capitol earlier this month, Brooks says this is a day that's about more than red and blue.
