Next week’s inauguration festivities are getting more star-studded by the day. The Presidential Inaugural Committee announced Tuesday that the Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato and Bow Wow will perform at the Kids’ Inaugural, a concert honoring military families that will be held Monday night. Along with their parents, Malia and Sasha Obama are expected to be in attendance.

There’s a reason the lineup features so many Disney stars: The event will be televised on the Disney Channel and then streamed on Disney.com.

The Disney-ABC Television Group also has exclusive rights to another major inauguration event: Tuesday’s Neighborhood Ball, the first gala that the newly sworn-in president and first lady will attend. Beyonce, Mary J. Blige, Mariah Carey, Faith Hill, Jay-Z, Alicia Keys, Shakira and Stevie Wonder are scheduled to perform. ABC will televise the event that night.
