The Inauguration for President-elect Donald Trump kicks off Thursday, with a "Make America Great Again!" Welcome Celebration.

The Welcome Celebration begins at 4 p.m. ET, and is expected to last until 6 p.m. ET. Performers include Toby Keith, Lee Greenwood, 3 Doors Down The Piano Guys, DJ RaviDrum and The Frontmen of Country.

"I don't apologize for performing for our country or military," Keith's publicist, Elaine Schock, stated on his behalf amid backlash.

The Welcome Celebration features remarks from President-elect Trump, and "will also feature the participation of military bands as we honor our Armed Forces across all inaugural events and a fireworks show by Grucci at the conclusion."

"President-elect Trump has made it clear that this inaugural is of, by, and for the American people. The 58th Inaugural will celebrate American history and heritage, while setting the course to a brighter and bolder future for all Americans," Chairman Tom Barrack said in a statement. "Above all, it will serve as tribute to one of our greatest attributes, the peaceful transition of partisan power."

The Welcome Celebration will be available to watch through live stream via the White House, NBC News, CBSN, Fox News and many more on YouTube. All of the cable news networks are expected to show the Welcome Celebration live as well.
