The Vote for Change tour was a politically motivated American popular music concert tour that took place in October 2004.[1] The tour was presented by MoveOn.org to benefit America Coming Together.[2] The tour was held in swing states and was designed to encourage people to register and vote. Though the tour and the organization were officially non-partisan, many of the performers urged people to vote against then President George W. Bush and for John Kerry in the 2004 presidential election campaign.[1][3][4][5] Bush would defeat Kerry in November 2004.
