The finale show will bring 13 of the Vote For Change artists together for a 4 hour performance.

Performers will include Bonnie Raitt, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Dave Matthews Band, the Dixie Chicks, Jackson Browne, James Taylor, John Fogerty, John Mellencamp, Jurassic 5, Keb’ Mo’, Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds, Pearl Jam, and R.E.M.

"We all wanted to come back together for a finale show after we hadfinished our separate tour dates," said Stone Gossard of Pearl Jam. "We thought our nation’s capitol seemed like the most ideal place to do that" "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.
