After Berninger and Dessner sang “Bloodbuzz Ohio” and “I Need My Girl” for the crowd in Madison—the latter, while sporting one of those viral Harris/Walz camo hats—Berninger introduced the final song of their set this way: “We have one more song—we wrote this a long time ago—it’s called ‘Fake Empire.’ It’s starting to feel a lot less fake lately, especially here tonight.”

During a foot-stomping set in Madison—which included performances of “The Cave,” “Little Lion Man,” “Awake My Soul,” and “I Will Wait”—the band’s lead singer, Marcus Mumford, took the mic to urge the crowd to vote. “I know it might not sound like it, because I grew up in England, but I was born in America… and last week it was my great privilege to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris and Tim Walz to be president and vice president of the United States of America,” he said. “I would encourage you to get with your mates, make a voting plan, and go out and vote, because every vote will matter.”
Still to come:
Also due to join Harris on the campaign trail in the coming days? Rapper Cardi B, who will speak at a “When We Vote We Win” rally in Milwaukee on November 1, where GloRilla, MC Lyte, The Isley Brothers, Flo Milli, and DJ Gemini Gilly are all set to perform. Then, in Charlotte, Bon Jovi, Khalid, Brittney Spencer, and The War and Treaty will support Harris and Walz at a rally on Saturday, November 2—the final day of early voting in North Carolina.
