WASHINGTON -- Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers are scheduled to perform in a concert honoring military families on the eve of President-elect Barack Obama's inauguration.

The Presidential Inaugural Committee announced the talent lineup Tuesday for the "Kids' Inaugural: We Are the Future" event. The concert to be held at the Verizon Center in downtown Washington will air Monday night, Jan. 19, on the Disney Channel.

Michelle Obama and Jill Biden will host the concert with their families.

In a separate event, Beyonce, Mary J. Blige, Mariah Carey, Alicia Keys, Jay-Z and others will perform at the Neighborhood Inaugural Ball on Tuesday night after Obama has been sworn in as president. ABC will broadcast that event live from the Washington Convention Center.
