Robbie Williams, Andrea Bocelli, and the Village People are set to perform at a star-studded event that promises a distinctly Trumpian atmosphere. The 2026 World Cup draw, hosted by model Heidi Klum, comedian Kevin Hart, and actor Danny Ramirez, will take place at the Kennedy Center in Washington DC on Friday.
The event is expected to be a spectacle, with Williams, Bocelli, and the Village People taking to the stage to perform iconic hits. The Village People's "YMCA" will likely get everyone singing along, given its reputation for being a staple at Donald Trump's campaign rallies and Mar-a-Lago fundraisers.
But it's not just music that's got people talking – the event is also set to unveil the FIFA World Cup's new "Peace Prize – Football Unites the World" award. Given Donald Trump's well-documented calls for a Nobel Peace Prize, many are speculating that he'll be the recipient of this honor. This comes after FIFA President Gianni Infantino attended Trump's inauguration in January and praised him for his role in brokering a ceasefire in the Middle East.
The World Cup itself will be taking place next summer across 16 cities in the US, Canada, and Mexico, with games scheduled from June 11 to July 19. The tournament is expected to draw huge crowds, thanks in part to FIFA's decision to expand it to 48 teams and 104 matches. While many are looking forward to the football, others can't help but wonder what other surprises this event might hold.
One thing's for sure: with the likes of Williams, Bocelli, and the Village People on hand, there will be plenty of entertainment options to go around. And with Trump's name increasingly synonymous with controversy, it'll be interesting to see how his involvement in the World Cup draws down the year ahead.

. I mean, who thought it was a good idea to pair music legends like Robbie Williams and Andrea Bocelli with...Donald Trump? 
It's just gonna be a headache for everyone involved, especially Heidi Klum and Kevin Hart trying to keep things light and fun 
. And can we please just focus on the football 
? I'm sure it'll be great, but let's not get distracted by all the politics and whatnot 
. At least they're introducing a "Peace Prize" award - that sounds like something positive for once 
. Fingers crossed it won't be overshadowed by Trump's presence 
I'm low-key shocked that Donald Trump is getting a FIFA Peace Prize just 4 years after leaving office 
. Fingers crossed it'll be a night to remember! 
can you imagine trump giving out peace prizes? 
that guy and his definition of peace is like, what even is it? 
anyway, i'm more hyped for the village people's ymca performance than anything else. those guys are legends and will definitely get everyone singing along 
️can't wait to see how trump's involvement affects the whole thing... maybe he'll even bring his famous table-flipping skills to the draw 
. With Trump's track record on peace and human rights, it's hard to see him as a symbol of unity and progress. Not to mention the controversy surrounding the whole thing... I'm not sure how this is going to play out 
. Maybe I'm just too cynical, but I'll believe it when I see it 
itll be like a dream come true to see robby williams and andrea bocelli live on stage! 
whoever gets it will def deserve it. and the village peoples ymca always gets me dancing 
Still, I guess you can't deny that he's got a lot of fans out there. And hey, it'll be cool to see some music legends rocking the stage with him! 
We'll have to wait and see how this whole thing plays out...
