Village People and Robbie Williams to perform at Friday’s World Cup draw

The artists who will play at Friday’s World Cup draw in Washington, DC, include the American disco group Village People and the British superstar Robbie Williams.

The Village People will perform their iconic 1970s song “YMCA,” which has since become synonymous with Donald Trump’s campaign rallies.

At 17:00 GMT (12:00 local time), the 2026 World Cup draw will take place at the Kennedy Center.

Andrea Bocelli, an Italian tenor, and Nicole Scherzinger, a former Pussycat Dolls singer, are also on the bill.

Heidi Klum, the supermodel and Emmy Award winner, and actor and comedian Kevin Hart will co-host the program, and producer and actor Danny Ramirez will speak with those present.

The United States, Mexico, and Canada will jointly host the 2026 World Cup, which will take place from June 11 through July 19.
