The festival’s announcement highlighted:
This single-day event will showcase performances by a remarkable array of artists and activists, including Foo Fighters, Dave Matthews, Bruce Springsteen, Joan Baez, Brittany Howard, Dropkick Murphys, and Jack Black, joined by Roman Morello, Revel Ian, Yoyoka Soma, and Hugo Weiss. Other performers include Serj Tankian, Cypress Hill, Killer Mike, grandson, The Neighborhood Kids, Taylor Momsen, Matt Cameron, The Linda Lindas, Darryl “DMC” McDaniels, and Tom Morello himself. Additionally, Shepard Fairey, a legendary artist, will present artwork and a DJ set.
Curated by Tom Morello, The Power To The People Festival aims to unite artists, fans, activists, organizations, and community leaders for a memorable day celebrating the influence of music and collective action in driving change.
Notably, the festival is scheduled to occur one month before the midterm elections, coinciding with a period when Republican members of Congress are out of session and engaged in campaigning.
This timing offers an excellent opportunity to spotlight the midterm elections and attract significant media attention, potentially encouraging more voter participation.
