AceShowbiz - Katy Perry, Jennifer Lopez and Jon Bon Jovi are set to headline "Love Trumps Hate" concert series as part of Hillary Clinton's campaign. They will be joined by other artists in the concerts which will take place in battleground states.
Only J.Lo and Jon have confirmed dates. The "Ain't Your Mama" hitmaker's performance will take place on October 29 in Miami, while the Bon Jovi leader will perform in Pittsburgh on October 27 and in Tampa on November 5. More performances will be announced in the coming days.
The campaign says, "The performance series will feature a number of artists performing in battleground states who will energize our supporters and encourage them to turn out to vote on Election Day or to take advantage of early voting options in their states."
"In the final weeks of the campaign, what voters will hear from these performers and all HFA surrogates is that Hillary Clinton has the experience and steadiness to bring people together and get real results," the statement continues, "The choice in this election is clear. We can either come together to tackle the big challenges facing the country or let Donald Trump keep tearing us apart with his divisive rhetoric and dangerous ideas. That's why millions of people are coming together to support Hillary Clinton and send a clear message that 'love trumps hate.' "
Hillary held a "Stronger Together" Broadway benefit in New York on Monday, October 17. The star-studded event featured performances from Lin-Manuel Miranda, Billy Crystal, Josh Groban, Bette Midler, Neil Patrick Harris, Hugh Jackman, Sara Bareilles, Barbra Streisand, Lena Dunham, Sienna Miller, Sarah Jessica Parker, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, Julia Roberts and Helen Mirren among others.
