Thirteen acts will perform at the show in the US capitol on October
11 to urge voters to vote in the November.   "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.

This event caps a series of 34 performances over 11 days across
US.   The concert series was created by a handful of artists seeking
a way to make a difference in this year's elections and is a joint
production of MoveOn.org and America Coming Together.

Concert highlights include Bruce Springsteen's solo performance
of "The Star Spangled Banner," the Dixie Chicks' "Travelin' Soldier"
and R.E.M.'s "Final Straw".

"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."

Also appearing will be Keb' Mo', Ben Harper & The Innocent, Jurassic
5 and Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds.
