After more than 15 months of campaigning, hundreds of millions dollars spent and countless interviews, it all comes down to this.

Hillary Clinton will face the biggest moment of her political life thus far as she formally accepts the first-ever major-party presidential nomination for a woman in American history (you can read about Clinton’s big speech and it must accomplish here).

But before all the balloons and confetti, some of the highest-profile names in showbiz and politics will come together for the historic coronation.

Daughter Chelsea Clinton will introduce her mother. While Hollywood’s biggest power players will fire up delegates throughout the night. Thursday’s lineup includes Carole King, Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen (two of Clinton’s closest Hollywood confidants), Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Chloe Grace Moretz.

Katy Perry will serve as musical guest.
