Bruce Springsteen to perform in battleground states for Kamala Harris

Ahead of Election Day, Bruce Springsteen is scheduled to perform two concerts for presidential candidate Kamala Harris at rallies in Atlanta and Philadelphia.
Members of the Harris-Walz campaign announced Tuesday that their “When We Vote We Win” events aims to mobilize voters in all seven battleground states, including Georgia and Pennsylvania. Additional concerts in other regions are reportedly expected to be announced in the coming days.
Former President Barack Obama will also share the stage with the “Born in the USA” rocker on Oct. 24 in Atlanta, and Oct. 28 in Philly.
The two men, who met in 2008, hosted the 2021 Spotify podcast “Renegades: Born in the USA,” which was later repackaged and sold as a $50 book.
Earlier this month, Springsteen officially endorsed the Democratic party ticket in a social media post, saying Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz have “a vision of this country that respects and includes everyone, regardless of class, religion, race, your political point of view or sexual identity, and they want to grow our economy in a way that benefits all.”

As for the opposition, Springsteen said Donald Trump “doesn’t understand the meaning of this country, its history, or what it means to be deeply American.”
The 75-year-old rocker, who hails from Long Branch, N.J., is a longtime supporter of the Democratic Party. He previously hit the campaign trail for John Kerry in 2004, for Obama in 2008 and 2012, and for Hillary Clinton in 2016.
Weeks after the 2016 election, Obama awarded Springsteen with the nation’s highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
