Vote For Change US tour confirmed

by Toby Jarvis [Edit this content] ▾ 2 comments 13:46 August 5th, 2004

Political concerts on an unprecedented scale were today confirmed, with bills mixing superstars such as REM, Bruce Springsteen, James Taylor and Dixie Chicks with unexpectedly DiS-friendly acts like Death Cab For Cutie, Bright Eyes, Jurassic 5 and My Morning Jacket.

The series of more than 30 shows across the United States are supporting the Vote For Change organisation, which directly takes on the Bush administration and aims to get out folks who wouldn't normally bother voting at all. Even though it's across the pond, these bills are worth spending your carbon quota on.

Vote For Change US tour confirmed

Speaking of REM - they've announced that their new album is called 'Around the sun' and will be released Oct 4th.

I'm actually quite looking forward to an REM album for the first time since 'Monster'....
