American disco icons Village People and British pop superstar Robbie Williams are set to light up the stage at Friday’s World Cup draw in Washington DC. The star-studded event will see a blend of classic and contemporary music to kick off the journey to the 2026 tournament.
The Village People are expected to perform their timeless hit ‘YMCA’. The song has found a new audience in recent years, becoming a prominent feature at Donald Trump’s political campaign rallies, adding a unique cultural layer to the performance.
The draw for the expanded 48-nation 2026 World Cup is scheduled for 17:00 GMT at the prestigious Kennedy Center. This ceremony will officially map out the initial group stage paths for the teams competing in the global spectacle.
