WrestleMania is WWE’s biggest show of the year, and it’s become a tradition for the company to make music a part of the event. Bands such as Motorhead, Living Colour and many more have graced the stage at WrestleMania, and now the first musical act for this year’s show has been confirmed.
WWE has announced that sister duo Chloe x Halle will be kicking off WrestleMania Sunday with a performance of “America The Beautiful” at the Mercedes Benz-Superdome.
“It is an honor for us to perform ‘America the Beautiful’ in New Orleans at WrestleMania,” said Chloe x Halle. “We feel privileged to participate in such a meaningful way at one of the biggest sports and entertainment events in the world.”
“Chloe x Halle are a dynamic sister duo, known for their angelic voices and soulful performances,” said Neil Lawi, Senior Vice President and General Manager, WWE Music Group. “WWE is thrilled to have them open WrestleMania with their rendition of ‘America the Beautiful,’ a role that has been filled with renowned artists in the past, including Ray Charles, John Legend, Aretha Franklin, Nicole Scherzinger, Fifth Harmony and Tinashe.
