In October, Springsteen announced his support for Vice President Kamala Harris in a social media post, saying Harris and 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" and that Donald Trump, "doesn't understand the meaning of this country, its history, or what it means to be deeply American."

Additional concerts are expected to be announced in the coming days.

The campaign says they hope to encourage people to turn out to vote, as well as encourage their friends and family to vote.
