| Vote for Change Tour Finale
Scheduled
09/17/04
The star-studded finale of the Vote for Change tour has been nailed
down for Oct. 11 at the MCI Center in Washington, D.C., reports
Billboard Online.
Thirteen acts from the trek will be on hand at the finale, including
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Pearl Jam, R.E.M., Dave
Matthews Band, John Mellencamp and the Dixie Chicks.
The four-hour bill will be rounded out by Bonnie Raitt, Jackson
Browne, James Taylor, John Fogerty, Jurassic 5, Keb' Mo' and Kenneth
"Babyface" Edmonds. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday via Ticketmaster.
"We all wanted to come back together for a finale show after we
had finished our separate tour dates," said Pearl Jam's Stone Gossard.
"We thought our nation's capital seemed like the most ideal place
to do that."
"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 of MoveOn PAC, which is sponsoring the
trek. "After four years of deficits, layoffs and war, this call
for new leadership will signal to millions of Americans that on
November 2, they need to get out and vote for change."
The Vote for Change tour kicks off Oct. 1 in Pennsylvania and will
visit 36 cities in 12 presidential election swing states.
Dixie Chicks Artist Club Members - unfortunately due to the short
confirmation window for this show, we're unable to offer presales
