musicOct 3, 202675729

On October 3, 2026 the Power to the People benefit concert at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland was presented as an MS NOW live exclusive, headlined by Bruce Springsteen with performances from Foo Fighters, Tom Morello and a Jack Black set billed as Jack Sabbath. The bill also included Dave Matthews (approximate stage time 7:45 p.m. ET), Public Enemy, Cypress Hill, Joan Baez, Dropkick Murphys, The Linda Lindas and others; Foo Fighters were listed for about 9:25 p.m. ET and Springsteen for 10:00 p.m. ET with a special performance at 10:30 p.m. ET. Joan Baez performed Woody Guthrie’s “Deportee” during the show and Jack Black performed Black Sabbath material joined onstage by Geezer Butler. Attendees and viewers reported standout moments from Public Enemy, Cypress Hill and a set where many artists joined for covers including “Fortunate Son.” MS NOW used the event to promote a new Membership launched in September that offers daily live interactions and Q&A sessions with hosts such as Rachel Maddow, Jen Psaki, Rev. Al Sharpton and Joe Scarborough. Organizers warned the livestream would not be available to watch once the broadcast ended; some viewers also reported the broadcast feed was cut during a Cypress Hill segment when an introduction referenced “The President.”

Massive shift in smell at Power to the People when Cypress Hill took the stage. I admire my fellow concertgoers’ restraint.

I’m taking a wild guess and saying it not patchouli you’re smelling.

My parents are watching this to see Bruce Springsteen (he won’t be on for hours still) and I’m trying to think of how I would explain to my 16 year old self 30 years ago that my parents would be live streaming a Cypress Hill concert in 2026 powertothepeoplefest.com#top
