They’ll be joined by a number of guests, including the Roots’ Questlove, Alex Ebert (Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeroes), Craig Finn (The Hold Steady), Eugene Hutz (Gogol Bordello), Lee Fields, and more. Today, Arcade Fire’s Win Butler has been announced as the latest addition to the concert. The event begins at 7 p.m. Eastern on Sunday. It will be available to stream here in exchange for a pledge to vote. See a poster for the Jam the Vote show below.
Win Butler has been outspoken politically lately. In a recent lecture, he criticized Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, calling him “a complete fucking nightmare and a joke.” At Arcade Fire’s show at Voodoo Music + Arts Experience, Butler called out British Petroleum for the devastating Deepwater Horizon oil spill from 2010.
Jam the Vote is organized in partnership with Headcount. Tickets are available here.
