Bruce Springsteen to hold battleground concerts with Kamala Harris, Barack Obama

WASHINGTON — Vice President Kamala Harris is getting a boost from The Boss in the final stretch of the 2024 race for president.

Music icon Bruce Springsteen will headline a series of concerts for the Democratic presidential nominee over the final two weeks of the campaign, beginning with concerts Thursday in Atlanta and Monday in Philadelphia, the Harris campaign confirmed.

Springsteen, a longtime Democratic activist, will be joined by former President Barack Obama at both shows, with Harris scheduled to attend the Atlanta concert. Springsteen, a New Jersey native, has maintained a deep connection with Philadelphia throughout his career.

The Harris campaign billed the concert series – dubbed “When we vote, we win" – as part of its get-out-the-vote strategy during the early voting period in the seven key battleground states. Additional concerts are set to be announced in the coming days ahead of the Nov. 5 election.

Springsteen, 75, campaigned for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election, backed President Joe Biden in 2020 and performed at a star-studded Inauguration Day rally for Biden on Jan. 20, 2021.
