    The Wrap:


    The bookers, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said they were approached by members of Trump’s Presidential Inaugural Committee in recent weeks with offers of cash or even plush diplomatic posts in exchange for locking in singers.

    LOL.

    I don't understand why a big band doesn't accept and then play something really politically charged. I mean that would pretty much be the most punk thing ever. Take a page from Green Room and get up there and play Nazi Punks Fuck Off. I'm sure people would be more than willing to donate and offset the fines.

    So I'm guessing they'll book Kid Rock, 3 Doors Down and (possibly) Kanye?

    "Bookers, who spoke on the condition of anonymity". Great reporting there. This entire thing could be made up or fake. Why not come forword and show emails or texts? Trump's team would know who they are anyway.

    Then they put some celebrities who are big time Democrats in the picture. I'm fairly certain the Trump team doesn't expect Beyonce and Katy at the event. Making it more click bait enticing.
