As part of an effort to inspire people to vote for change this November, the coalition of artists who are participating in this Fall's 36 city, 12 state Vote For Change tour will come together for a grand finale performance in Washington DC on October 11 at the MCI Center. This, as with all Vote For Change shows, is presented by MoveOn PAC to benefit America Coming Together (ACT).
Tickets for this show will go on sale Saturday, September 18th at 10 a.m. EDT at www.ticketmaster.com or by phone at 202-432-SEAT - no outlets. For more information about Vote for Change, including ticket information and updates, go to www.moveonpac.org. or www.act04.com.
The finale show will bring 13 of the Vote For Change artists together for a four hour performance. Although these artists vary in genre, their message is the same; they want to inspire people to vote for change.
"We all wanted to come back together for a finale show after we had finished our separate tour dates," said Stone Gossard of Pearl Jam. "We thought our nation's capitol seemed like the most ideal place to do that."
"The power of music is coming to Washington to liven the political debate about the need to change the direction of our country. This will be the grand finale to inspire and reinvigorate the democratic political world before we head into the final weeks of the campaign," said Ellen Malcolm, President of ACT.
"This finale concert will clearly be a historic event, and we're honored and grateful to be presenting it with so many world-renowned artists," said Eli Pariser, Executive Director of MoveOn PAC. "After four years of deficits, layoffs, and war, this call for new leadership will signal to millions of Americans that on November 2nd, they need to get out and vote for change."
