President Joe Biden's team is producing a celebrity-filled primetime special tonight in lieu of the traditional celebrations, which have been significantly pared down due to the pandemic.

The special, hosted by Tom Hanks, is set to air live on ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and MSNBC from 8:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. ET. It will feature performances from Jon Bon Jovi, who campaigned with Biden in Pennsylvania, Demi Lovato, Justin Timberlake and Ant Clemons.

The 90-minute program, titled "Celebrating America," will also feature remarks from the President and the Vice President Kamala Harris and will celebrate "American heroes" like frontline workers, teachers and health care workers, among others.

"Our first priority is safety — so while many of us will be watching safely from our homes, we are creating real moments of connection that highlight a new inclusive American era of leadership that works for and represents all Americans," said Presidential Inaugural Committee CEO Tony Allen.

Yesterday, the Biden inaugural committee announced more participants including a duet by Tyler Hubbard and Tim McGraw, Black Pumas, DJ Cassidy’s Pass the Mic, featuring Ozuna and Luis Fonsi.

Later in the evening, Biden and Jill Biden will appear on the Blue Room balcony at the White House.
