The rally and concert marks the final Get Out The Vote campaign to get voters to polls before Tuesday’s election.
Harris will be joined by Doug Emhoff, a second gentleman for the Philadelphia campaign stop. The two will attend the Get Out The Vote concert and rally in Pittsburgh earlier on Monday, from 3 pm to 7 pm. The concert features Katy Perry and Andra day.
In the announcement of the event, the campaign stated that “These artists are trusted voices to millions of Americans who listen their music, follow on social media or are otherwise inspired by them.” The campaign said that they believed having public figures participate in these rallies, and laying out the stakes for the 2024 elections will encourage people to vote.
According to an event announcement, the rallies and concerts form part of a series of events that the campaign will hold in each of the seven battleground states before Election Day.
The Get Out The Vote campaign announced that the events of every battleground state will be featured in a national livestream produced to reach voters across the country. The stream will feature rallies, speeches and performances from each state.
