With Election Day just over a month away, R.E.M.’s Michael Stipe and Jason Isbell are teaming up for a concert in Pennsylvania supporting Kamala Harris and Tim Walz’s campaign.
Dubbed “Get Out the Vote,” the free show will take place 6-9 p.m. Friday (Oct. 4) in Pittsburgh, its exact location only to be revealed to confirmed guests who RSVP online. Potential future First Gentleman Doug Emhoff, who is married to Vice President Harris, will also be present to help rally voters in the battleground state for this year’s Democratic presidential ticket.
Both Stipe and Isbell have been vocal in their support for the VP this year, with the “Cover Me Up” singer performing at the Democratic National Convention in August. Stevie Wonder, John Legend, The Chicks, Mickey Guyton and P!nk also took the stage at the Chicago political gathering, while a litany of celebrity musicians — spanning Ariana Grande, Megan Thee Stallion, Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Lizzo, Cardi B and more — have all endorsed Harris for president in 2024.
The Get Out the Vote show follows on the heels of the Oct. 1 vice presidential debate between Walz and Donald Trump’s running mate, JD Vance, which took place a few weeks after the Sept. 10 presidential debate between Harris and the twice-impeached former POTUS. Both campaigns are now working to sway the minds of American voters as Election Day on Nov. 5 approaches, particularly the nation’s swing states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
