Oct 13

AndrewMusic, Politics and Nation Comments Off

The Beastie Boys have set up a handful of dates ahead of the presidential election to raise awareness for the importance of voting in swing vote states.  A number of high profile performers have signed on to play the shows including Sheryl Crow, Ben Harper, Jack Johnson, Norah Jones and Tenacious D.  Right now, three dates are scheduled, and the press release promises a few more to be confirmed.

The shows will also be attended by Rock the Vote to provide local information regarding polling places and early voting at each stop. Of course, voter registration deadlines have passed or are this week in some states, so hopefully attendees are already registered when they show up.

Tour dates
October 28 Richmond, VA Richmond Coliseum

November 1 St. Paul, MN Roy Wilkins Auditorium
November 2 Milwaukee, WI US Cellular Arena
