The Beastie Boys wants you to vote…so they’re launching a tour called, “Get Out And Vote.”
”This election is too important to stay at home. We hope that you can come out, have a nice night, dance, sing, get your freak on, and then wake up the next morning and get everyone that you possibly can to get out and vote,” the group said in an email blast sent out this morning.
The group announced that they would be bringing along other acts, like Santogold, Tenacious D, Sheryl Crow, and others to spread the word. They also made it clear that they endorse Obama.
“We are very excited about Obama. Hope you all feel the same.”
Current "Get Out And Vote" Dates:
October 28 - Richmond, VA / Richmond Coliseum / Starring Sheryl Crow, Norah Jones, Jack Johnson and Santogold
November 1 - St. Paul, MN / Roy Wilkins Auditorium / Starring Ben Harper and Tenacious D
November 2 - Milwaukee, WI / U.S. Cellular Arena / Starring Ben Harper, Crosby & Nash and Tenacious D
