"This roster of performances only adds to the excitement building in Charlotte for the historic week ahead of us," DNC Chairman and Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said in a statement.

"The tens of thousands who will attend convention events in person, and all those tuning in across the country, should be ready for quite a show."
