Elton John to Perform on the White House Lawn

Elton John will rock the White House this Friday for the event,  “A Night When Hope and History Rhyme,” a reference to a poem by Seamus Heaney that President Joe Biden often quotes.

The South Lawn performance -organized with A+E Networks and the History Channel–will include an audience of teachers, nurses, students, gay rights advocates and others. The show will take place on the South Lawn.

It will also “celebrate the unifying and healing power of music” and pay tribute to Elton’s “life and work.”

The Bidens will deliver remarks at the event.
