But only to the elite of the elite...it's party time at the White House with no peons to spoil their fun.
THE PRESIDENT and THE FIRST LADY host a concert celebrating Soul music as part of their “In Performance at the White House” series; THE PRESIDENT delivers remarks
As the White House has previously announced, Justin Timberlake (who will be making his White House debut), Al Green, Ben Harper, Queen Latifah, Cyndi Lauper, Joshua Ledet, Sam Moore, Charlie Musselwhite, Mavis Staples, and others will be performing at the exclusive event.
But while the performers are known, the guest list of approximately 600 for the event has not yet been released. A White House spokesperson explained this was a private event sponsored by the First Lady, they have to respect the privacy of those attending.
To attend any event at the White House, one must be invited. (The White House is now closed for public access by members of the general public.) And especially this one, with Hollywood and musical stars--and with remarks by the president of the United States. In the mean time a stream of private jets have been arriving in D.C. often resulting in delays of commercial aircraft.
