BET has released the complete list of artists scheduled to perform at the BET Honors ceremony, which takes place this Saturday, Jan. 15, at the Warner Theatre.

Ne-Yo, Trey Songz, Lalah Hathaway, Yolanda Adams, Keyshia Cole, Guy, Tank, Angelique Kidjo, Naturally 7, the Chick Corea Quartet, and the Cicely L. Tyson Concert Choir will perform.

BET Honors, which began in 2008, is an annual awards program that recognizes lifetime contributions and exceptional service to African-American culture. Actress Cicely Tyson, singer/actor Jamie Foxx, model Iman, musician Herbie Hancock, publishing mogul Linda Johnson Rice, and Lonnie G. Bunch III, founding director of the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture, are this year's honorees.

It sounds like an amazing night, right? Forget about going, though—tickets for the annual event are available via private sale only.  But, there's nothing stopping DMV residents from going down to the Warner on Saturday to try to catch a glimpse of the stars (well, except for the cold and some road closures, that is). The best bet, however, may be waiting for the program to air on the cable network on Feb. 12.
