#iVoted Festival, which built the largest digital concert in history in 2020 all to increase non-partisan voter turnout, is back for the 2022 midterms. Fans RSVP to access the election night webcast with a selfie from outside their polling place or at home with a blank and unmarked ballot.
The event features over 400 of the top trending artists in key states including Olympic silver medalist Jay Litherland’s TRiiiPSS music group with his swimming standout triplet brothers Kevin and Mick Litherland performing on the event’s Music Midtown / Well-Dunn Georgia Stage. They join Olympic gold medalist Lydia Jacoby who will be introducing #iVoted Festival’s stage featuring the top trending artists in Alaska. This is in addition to appearances by Steph Curry, Tara VanDerveer, Cassidy Lichtman, Chase Griffin, Colleen McNamara, Elizabeth Ford, Isael Silva and Sam Beskind all courtesy of #iVoted Festival partner All Vote No Play as well as Olympic skateboarder Heimana Reynolds. They join conversations, appearances and musical performances including W. Kamau Bell w/ Tom Morello, Billie Eilish, FINNEAS, Run the Jewels (Holy Calamavote TV concert rebroadcast), CNCO, Lake Street Dive, Rise Against, Eugene Mirman, Umphrey’s McGee & 400 more artists and talent appearances with the full lineup available here.
TRiiiPSS latest single, “Lefty” dropped on Friday. The Japanese-American brothers have crafted a track that smoothly merges their laid back vocals and upbeat piano with lively synth and horns, produced by GC Beats. TRiiiPSS are musical cosmopolitans who – as singers, songwriters, and producers – take inspiration from the diverse sounds of the places where they lived and grew up. East and West coast hip-hop rhythms mingle with tones and swagger from the Pacific Rim.
#iVoted Festival was founded by former Northeastern University swimmer, athlete / coach manager, and swimming legacy Emily White who said, “It’s a natural fit for us to tie in athletes at #iVoted Festival 2022. We got the ball rolling with Anthony Ervin’s appearance in 2020. With Tony always being a leader and ahead of the curve, we’re thrilled to add a performance from the Litherlands’ TRiiiPSS this year along with appearances by Lydia Jacoby, Steph Curry, and more.”

Adds Jacoby, who is also a musician herself, “I’m super excited to be a part of a festival which embodies two things I feel very passionate about, music and voting.”

Lydia who? She didn’t even swim the first meet for Texas. Money down the drain.
