"The World's Most Famous Arena" is expected to be packed with Trump supporters as the Republican nominee returns to his "deep blue" home state as his campaign enters its final days with increasing momentum. MSG is a 19,500-seat venue. 

The Trump campaign says the program includes political icons, celebrities, musical artists, and friends and family of former President Trump who will all discuss how he is "the best choice to fix everything that Kamala Harris broke."

"This epic event, in the heart of President Trump's home city, will be a showcase of the historic political movement that President Trump has built in the final days of the campaign," the campaign said in a press release. 

Other notable attendees this Sunday include former Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, political commentator Tucker Carlson and former Democrat presidential nominee turned Republican Tulsi Gabbard. 

High-profile names from the political world include Republican vice-presidential candidate JD Vance, Speaker Mike Johnson, Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., and Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla.

Republican National Committee Co-Chair Lara Trump as well as the former president's sons Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. will also feature.

From the music world, Death Row Records founder Michael Harris Jr. is set to appear, as will singer Lee Greenwood and opera singer Christopher Macchio.

"We're going to make a play. We're going to make a play for New York. Hasn't been done in a long time. It hasn't been done in many decades," Trump said. 

"We're making a play for New Jersey. We're making a play for Virginia," Trump continued, before adding that he is also aiming to compete in Minnesota and New Mexico.

This will be Trump's second big rally in the state of New York. 

Trump held a rally at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, Long Island, last month. More than 60,000 tickets were requested, but the venue only seats 16,000. Thousands of supporters who were not admitted to the venue watched him speak on large screens outside.
