Donald Trump must hate this: Here’s the musical line-up for the opening of the Obama Presidential Center

When Donald Trump’s Freedom 250 organization tried to book acts to play the Great American State Fair on the National Mall in DC, it turned into an embarrassment. The only act that didn’t drop out was Vanilla Ice. Now the celebrations will consist solely of a MAGA rally. Yay.

Compare that to the list of guests who will appear at tonight’s (June 18) opening of the Obama Presidential Centre in Chicago.

  • Bono and The Edge from U2
  • Bruce Springsteen
  • Eddie Vedder
  • Stevie Wonder
  • Christina Aguilera
  • Common
  • Jennifer Hudson
  • John Legend
  • The Roots

There will be a global livestream, too. More here.
