Vote for Change Tour Announced, Featuring Springsteen, Dave Matthews and More

Nearly 20 bands and artists, including Bruce Springsteen, Dixie Chicks, Dave Matthews Band and R.E.M., have signed on for the Vote for Change tour. The 35-date tour, organized by the MoveOn political action committee, will focus on states perceived to be key in the upcoming presidential election, including Florida, Michigan, Ohio and Missouri, among others.

"A vote for change is a vote for a stronger, safer, healthier America. A vote for Bush is a vote for a divided, unstable, paranoid America," Dave Matthews explained in an official statement. "It is our duty to this beautiful land to let our voices be heard. That's the reason for the tour. That's why I'm doing it."

Other acts signing on for the tour include John Mellencamp, Ben Harper, My Morning Jacket, Death Cab for Cutie, Bright Eyes, Jurassic 5, Babyface, Jackson Browne, James Taylor and Bonnie Raitt.

Tickets go on sale August 21. All proceeds benefit Democratic voter contact program America Coming Together.
