Robbie Williams will also perform at Friday’s event
Trump expected to receive Fifa’s new peace award
Robbie Williams, Andrea Bocelli and the Village People are to perform as part of a “world-class entertainment line-up” during Friday’s draw for the 2026 men’s football World Cup. The draw for next year’s tournament will take place at the Kennedy Center in Washington DC, with model and TV personality Heidi Klum, comedian Kevin Hart and actor Danny Ramirez co-hosting the event.
The Village People will perform YMCA to cap off an event that promises have distinctly Trumpian overtones. The disco hit became a staple at Donald Trump’s campaign rallies and Mar-a-Lago fundraisers.
Other musical performances will include the classical singer Bocelli and a duet by Williams – who is Fifa’s music ambassador – and Nicole Scherzinger. The tournament takes place in the US, Canada and Mexico next summer, running from 11 June to 19 July in 16 cities.
