The Tour was a politically motivated
American Popular Music Concert Tour that took place in
October 2004 . All concerts were held in
Swing State s, to benefit
MoveOn.org and to encourage people to vote against
George W. Bush (and implicitly, and in some performances explicitly, for
John Kerry ) in the
2004 Presidential Election Campaign .
This was the schedule of the Vote for Change tour. Every region had a specific night during which the concerts would be held in that region.

The tour was generally successful in attracting audiences, generating media attention and raising approximately $10 million for ACT, but failed in its ultimate purpose of swaying the vote in battleground states. None of the states involved went differently than predicted in pre-election polls, and most critically
Ohio stayed in the Bush column despite the placement of six concerts.
