TOM MORELLO Unites Music and Activism for the Massive “Power To The People” Festival

Rock icon Tom Morello is bringing together an all-star lineup for one of the most politically charged and culturally significant music events of 2026 with The Power To The People Festival, taking place Saturday, October 3, 2026 at Merriweather Post Pavilion.


Promoted as “A Day of Peace, Love, Justice, and Music,” the festival celebrates FREEDOM! JUSTICE! EQUALITY! & ROCK N ROLL! while assembling an incredible lineup of legendary artists, outspoken voices, and revolutionary performers.


The stacked bill includes performances from Foo Fighters, Dave Matthews, Joan Baez, Jack Black, Dropkick Murphys, Cypress Hill, Killer Mike, Serj Tankian, Brittany Howard, The Linda Lindas, Grandson and many more, with special guest Bruce Springsteen also scheduled to appear.


The visual style and messaging behind the event channel the spirit of protest movements, unity, and community action while embracing the energy and rebellion that rock music has always represented. With Tom Morello at the center of the event, fans can expect not only unforgettable performances but also powerful moments of social awareness and cultural solidarity.


The festival arrives at a time when music and activism continue to collide louder than ever, and Power To The People aims to become more than just another concert it’s shaping up to be a statement.


From punk rock to hip-hop, alternative to folk, the lineup reflects a wide spectrum of artists connected by passion, purpose, and the belief that music still has the power to inspire change.


On October 3rd, Columbia, Maryland won’t just host a festival.  It will host a movement.
