How to express 3 people are coming tomorrow

Question

Situation: This is a message I want to post to a group of 20 people mentioning:

Anyone free tomorrow, let's plan to meet. name-1, name-2 and name-3 are in.

Does using the words "are in" here is correct? The intention is to convey that name-1, name-2 and name-3 people are coming to meet together, so if others wanna join, they can come too. Is this correct English? Any alternate ways of saying the same?

Of course, how could it be anything else but the plural? There are three people. — Lambie, Sep 30 '22 at 16:11
Yes, that would be understandable. You could also say _A, Band C are coming_. — Kate Bunting, Oct 01 '22 at 07:39

Whenever there is concern about possible misunderstanding, say it differently.

In this case, rather than:

name-1, name-2, and name-3 are in

which might make one wonder "are in what?", you could say:

name-1, name-2, and name-3 will be there

but if that's too strong (e.g. it will be your fault if they don't all show up), try:

name-1, name-2, and name-3 have said they will be there
