Bruce Springsteen, Foo Fighters, Dave Matthews, Brittany Howard and Joan Baez will headline a star-studded protest festival in Howard County, Maryland, a month before the midterm elections.
Springsteen and Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello announced the festival Wednesday while performing together at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C., as Springsteen winds down his Land of Hope and Dreams American tour.
At the concert Wednesday, Springsteen played many of his most political songs, including "American Skin (41 Shots)" about a fatal police shooting and "Streets of Minneapolis," in response to the killings of Renée Good and Alex Pretti during federal immigration efforts. He also called out the current administration.
"This American tragedy can only be stopped by the American people: you. There is no one coming to save us. We've got to do it ourselves," he said. "So join us and let's fight for the America that we love. Do you hear me, Washington?"
The one-day, two-stage Power to the People festival is set for Oct. 3 at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland, and is being billed as about "freedom, justice, equality and rock 'n' roll." A portion of the proceeds from all ticket sales will benefit the organizations VoteRiders and HeadCount.
"It's about the power everyday human beings have when they come together through music, art, community and action," Morello said in a statement. "We're honored to bring this incredible lineup to the D.C. area for a day that celebrates the spirit of activism, creativity, and hope."
The festival will also include Dropkick Murphys, Jack Black, Serj Tankian, Killer Mike, Taylor Momsen and the Linda Lindas, among others.

Joan Baez is still alive? Will she play her old hit “Pull The Triggers, N*****s.”
joan baez? ... she must be 100 by now ... are people sure she’s even still alive?
Cracker. Top-5 favorite band for me and I have fifteen thousand albums. That said, leader David Lowery is a liberal puke in the Springsteen vein.
Protesting what? Law and order? Removing illegal alien rapists, murderers, drug traffickers and pedos from the US? Billions of dollars taken from US tax payers in fraud? Voter, ballot and election fraud? What exactly?
“Dropkick Murphys”
That one surprises me.
Good thing there are other versions of the “Green Fields of France”.
Oxygen tanks and wheelchairs will be available on stage for the performers............
85............Same age as my Mother-in-law...........
Maybe they can get Beyonce to do a pole dance.
Foo Fighters had some nice stuff, so did Springsteen (long past his prime - zero creativity today).
But Dave Mathews: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8V_hCqO6UQs
And Joan Baez, other than rambling on stage about her views and her anti-Vietnam legacy, what is she?
Springsteen may actually believe it.
Many of these artists aren’t the brightest bulb, but when you’re surrounded by suck-ups 24-7 and have everyone sticking a microphone under your mouth, some actually believe that the crap pouring from that orifice is profound.
“Bruce Springsteen to hold protest festival in Maryland before midterm elections (Foo Fighters, Dave Matthews, Brittany Howard, Joan Baez)”. Only if you’re all dancing in the dark Bruce.
What does this entire group have in common?.... They are all applauded by communists worldwide.
Man, talk about washed up.
>>>>>>>“Dropkick Murphys”
That one surprises me.
Good thing there are other versions of the “Green Fields of France”.
Sadly they have really gone off the deep end. One of the band members father or someone like that died of COVID and he blames Trump.
Bruce Who?
What a shame they all are.
"the term is a metaphor based on the concept of not growing up and being unable to leave childhood. People with Peter Pan Syndrome show behaviors associated with immaturity and a reluctance to be an adult. They have difficulties in social and professional relationships because of their irresponsible behaviors. While it has often only been associated with men in the past, it can affect adults of any sex or gender.
Yeah, right?
So we’ll know where 65% of them will be at the same time....
Many cameras please. Document the debauchery!
