The finale show brings 13 of the 23 Vote For Change artists together for a four-hour performance in D.C. to conclude their 11-day, 12-state, 34-date swing state tour, which kicks off in Pennsylvania on October 1st. Vote for Change artists vary in genre, but the message they carry to their audiences is simple and the same: "Vote for change this November 2nd."
"The upcoming election provides everyone an opportunity to change the direction our country is headed and to elect a government that is just, rational and respectful of the views and rights of the people it serves," said Stone Gossard of Pearl Jam.
All Vote for Change shows are presented by MoveOn PAC to benefit America Coming Together (ACT).

"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."
