Foo Fighters, Dave Matthews, Bruce Springsteen, Joan Baez and Brittany Howard are among the acts slated to appear at the Power To The People Festival. Organized by Tom Morello, who will also perform, the “celebration of peace, justice, solidarity, music and community action” will take place Saturday, October 3, 2026 at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, MD. Other confirmed acts include: Dropkick Murphys, Jack Black (featuring Roman Morello, Revel Ian, Yoyoka Soma and Hugo Weiss), Serj Tankian, Cypress Hill, Killer Mike, grandson, The Neighborhood Kids, Taylor Momsen, Matt Cameron, The Linda Lindas and Darryl “DMC” McDaniels  alongside artwork and a DJ set by legendary artist Shepard Fairey. Morello is currently on the road with Springsteen and the E-Street Band on a politically charged tour.

“The Power To The People festival is about freedom, justice, equality and rock-and-roll,” Morello said in a statement of the event, which will take place in shadow of Washington, D.C. “It’s about the power everyday human beings have when they come together through music, art, community, and action. We’re honored to bring this incredible lineup to the DC area for a day that celebrates the spirit of activism, creativity and hope.”

In addition to performances across two stages, event organizes say that “attendees will have the opportunity to engage with nonprofit organizations, advocacy groups, artists, and community partners in the festival’s Freedom Village—an immersive space highlighting opportunities for civic engagement, grassroots organizing, education, mutual aid, and social impact initiatives.” 

A portion of the proceeds from all ticket sales plus 100% of the net proceeds from VIP tickets will be donated to VoteRiders–a pro-democracy, pro-voter organization working to restore and strengthen democracy by eliminating confusing and restrictive ID-related barriers to the ballot box–and HeadCount, who will also be on site to help fans register to vote and learn more about how to participate in upcoming elections.

Additional participating organizations and special guests will be announced in the coming weeks.
