By Simone Hilliard

Juanes, along with A-listers Kanye West and Jessica Simpson, are among the performers scheduled to take stage at Macy's Annual Thanksgiving Day Parade.  The Colombian rockero, who is contstantly breaking barriers, will deliver the FIRST all-Spanish language performance in the 84-year history of the much loved turkey day staple.

Folk singer Arlo Guthrie, R&B legend Gladys Knight, boy band Big Time Rush and singer Victoria Justice will also perform during the annual production.

While the mix of performers might seem strange to some, Orlando Veras, a spokesman for the Holiday ritual, said it's all part of Macy's master plan.

Veras told the Associated Press:

"We want to make sure we are capturing people who are in the zeitgeist."

Veras also confirmed that parade coordinators work with the artists on their song choices, and all of the performances will be "family friendly."

No Kanye outbursts? Tr3s was hoping for that!

The parade will be viewed by more than 3.5 million spectators on the great streets of Manhattan and appear before a broadcast audience of more than 50 million nationwide.

India.Arie, Keri Hilson, Miranda Cosgrove and the casts of Broadway shows "American Idiot," ''Elf," ''Memphis" and "Million Dollar Quartet" will also appear during the parade.

The procession will begin on New York's Central Park West and end in front of Macy's flagship store, located on 34th Street.

Are you excited?!!!

Also, don't forget to look for Juanes’ highly-anticipated fifth album, P.A.R.C.E., set for release December 7th.
