Bruce Springsteen to Headline Power to the People Festival

Bruce Springsteen is set to headline the "Power to the People" Festival on October 3, 2026, at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland. This event, curated by Tom Morello, will feature a lineup including Foo Fighters, Dave Matthews, Joan Baez, Brittani Howard, Dropkick Murphys, Jack Black, Serj Tankian, Cypress Hill, and Killer Mike.

The festival aims to celebrate American values and civic ideals, coinciding with the U.S. elections. Springsteen, who will close the event, previously criticized the Trump administration during a concert, urging the audience to choose hope over fear and to resist complacency.

The festival will include two stages and a "Freedom Village," with a portion of ticket sales going towards voter registration efforts. Tickets will go on sale to the public on May 30, 2026, with presales beginning on May 29, 2026.
