Wyclef Jean announced on Thursday that he’s joining
the bill for Jay-Z’s “Last Chance for Change” free voter-registration
concert in Miami’s Bayfront Park Amphitheater this Sunday. The
show, hosted by Obama for America, will encourage young attendees
to get involved with the Obama campaign. Jean will not be on the
bill the previous night at Jay’s free show in Detroit, which like
the Miami show, is open to fans 18 and older.
And it looks like that other staple of Obama’s playlist,
Bruce Springsteen, is upping the ante in supporting the candidate.
In addition to the Obama benefit with Billy Joel on October 16
in New York, Springsteen has also announced a series of free solo
acoustic dates that will double as Obama rallies and voter-registration
drives, Billboard.com reports. The Boss will play an open-air
rally on Saturday in Philadelphia, followed by a Sunday show on
the campus of Ohio State University in Columbus.
He’ll also perform next Monday at Eastern Michigan
University in Ypsilanti. Anyone interested in attending the Philly
show has to sign up on Obama’s Web site. Tickets for the Eastern
Michigan show will be available on campus on Friday, and Columbus
residents can get tickets at the Obama campaign offices on the
OSU campus.
