Solange will perform at the Peace Ball in Washington D.C. on January 19, an event organised in opposition to the inaugural ball for Donald Trump being held in the city that night. She will be joined onstage by Esperanza Spalding and activists like Angela Davis, Danny Glover, Alice Walker, Van Jones, Eve Ensler, Ben Jealous, Melissa Harris-Perry and Ashley Judd, among others.

The Peace Ball is set to take place at the National Museum of African American History and Culture, and is being organized by Busboys and Poets owner Andy Shallal, who says the nonpartisan event is a celebratory gathering of “artists, activists and progressives.”

Shallal say “It’s a celebration of accomplishment — over the last four years, there’s been progress on marriage equality, criminal justice reform, and health care. We don’t always take the time to stand back and look at this great stuff and celebrate.”

Solange, whose album A Seat at the Table was nominated for a Grammy, also performed for the Obama’s farewell dinner this past week.
