The Presidential Inaugural Committee (PIC) have today (January 9) announced details of the performers confirmed for the 57th Presidential Inauguration.

Beyoncé and 'Mr. Know It All' songstress Kelly Clarkson are set to perform at the event, which will take place at the West Front of the U.S. Capitol on January 21st, 2013, and President Obama said in a statement:

"Vice President Biden and I are honored to have these wonderfully talented musical artists perform at the Inaugural ceremony.”

“Their music is often at the heart of the American story and speaks to folks across the country."

The 'Halo' icon will sing the U.S. National Anthem, Clarkson is set to perform 'My Country Tis of Thee', and another artist, named James Taylor, will sing 'America the Beautiful'.

Earlier this morning, Beyoncé teased a photograph of herself playing a saxophone although she is yet to announce more details.
