The line-up for Donald Trump inauguration ball has been announced... and it's quite depressing

President-elect Donald Trump is set to assume office on January 20; the night before he will appear at the event at the Hyatt Regency Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., which is being billed as “a toast to American culture, featuring a stellar list of special guests, plus multiple areas of entertainment and attractions, which represent the diversity, energy and promise of America”.

Well, actually the line-up of guests hired to provide musical entertainment is... well, less than stellar. Quite depressing to tell the tuth.

According to the organisers, the event will see on a stage Nashville singer/songwriter Beau Davidson, ’80s cover band The Reagan Years (only performing songs that were released when Ronald Reagan was President) and The Mixx – “the Mid-Atlantic’s hottest Party Band!”. There will also be DJ sets from DJs Romin, Young Rye, Flow and Freedom.

Tickets for the "All-American Ball" cost $350 (£282.50), with a promise on the website that “ticket prices will increase soon”. Think aboiut this just or a second: for that same amount of money, you attend Coachella...
