Stipe, Isbell to Perform at Harris Campaign Concert

Michael Stipe, the former frontman of R.E.M., will join Jason Isbell for a 'Get Out The Vote' concert in Pittsburgh on October 4, supporting Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz's campaign. While it's unclear if Stipe will perform, he has been an active supporter of Democratic candidates, previously appearing at campaign events for Harris and others. Isbell, who recently performed at the Democratic National Convention, has a history of covering R.E.M. songs and inducted the band into the Songwriters Hall of Fame this year. The event underscores the importance of voter registration as the presidential election approaches. Attendees must RSVP to receive details about the concert's time and location, which will be disclosed to confirmed guests only. This concert occurs just before former President Donald Trump's rally in the same region, highlighting the competitive political landscape in Pennsylvania.
