The Democratic National Convention has a massive lineup of celebrities and politicians planned for its final two days.

Both nights’ main events are scheduled for 9 p.m. until 11 p.m. ET, though there are Daytime events and pre-shows ahead of both. The daytime events take place from 12 p.m. to 7 p.m. ET and are largely Caucus and Council meetings. The pre-show occurs in the two hours leading up to the main program and features panel discussions and live-streamed performances.

Wednesday evening will be kicked off with remarks from Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Massachusetts), followed by a performance by singer Billie Eilish. Former Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, Gov. Tony Evers (D-Wisconsin) and Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D-New Mexico) are then scheduled to speak.

Former Congresswoman and staunch gun control advocate Gabrielle Giffords will also make an appearance and will be followed by a performance from Jennifer Hudson.
