Bruce Springsteen on 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' on May 20, 2026. Scott Kowalchyk/CBS via Getty Images Bruce Springsteen, U2’s Bono and the Edge, and Stevie Wonder, are among the stacked lineup for the Obama Presidential Center’s grand opening ceremony in Chicago on Thursday, June 18.
“We are bringing together some of today’s most prominent voices and global icons for the Obama Presidential Center Grand Opening Ceremony,” the Obama Foundation captioned an Instagram post on Tuesday, announcing the lineup. “The festivities will livestream globally at 11 a.m. CT, Thursday, June 18 — don’t miss it!”
The savvy reveal on IG came by way of a group chat, which features former President Barack Obama adding people to his phone chat who will also appear at the ceremony. In addition to Bono, the Edge, Springsteen, and Wonder, the lineup includes spouse and former First Lady Michelle, Christina Aguilera, Common, Eddie Vedder, Jennifer Hudson, John Legend, Marc Anthony, Marsai Martin, the Roots, and Tems.
