MS NOW is giving subscribers to its subscription app a chance to win tickets to the sold-out Power to the People Festival. The ticket contest opens Thursday, Sept. 24 and closes at 11:59 p.m. Eastern on Saturday, Sept. 26, according to Variety.

To enter, subscribers must answer the prompt "What song from the past feels newly meaningful in America today, and why?" at ms.now/power-to-the-people-contest. Winners will be announced Monday, Sept. 28 on "The Beat with Ari Melber." That programme airs at 6 p.m. Eastern on MS NOW, ms.now or the MS NOW app.

The first Power to the People Festival takes place Saturday, Oct. 3 at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Md. It is curated by Rock & Roll Hall of Fame guitarist and songwriter Tom Morello. The contest window is tight.

The line-up is long. Performers slated include Foo Fighters, Dave Matthews, Joan Baez, Public Enemy, Brittany Howard, Killer Mike, Cypress Hill, The Linda Lindas, Dropkick Murphys, Serj Tankian, Jack Black, Darryl "DMC" McDaniels, Taylor Momsen, Matt Cameron and Bruce Springsteen, according to Variety.

MS NOW will serve as the exclusive livestream destination, meaning the only outlet carrying the festival live as it happens. The event will stream live on MS NOW's YouTube channel. The livestream will be produced by Tenth Planet Productions and directed by Joel Gallen.

Ari Melber will be on the festival grounds throughout the day, connecting audiences with artists across MS NOW's television, digital and social platforms. MS NOW will also host a Members Lounge at Merriweather for members to meet, connect and recharge between performances. The venue had earlier offered last-chance tickets, as reported by the Baltimore Sun, but the festival is now listed as sold out.

For fans, this means a favourite old song could be the route in. With no general tickets left, the subscriber contest is one of the last ways to attend in person. Everyone else can still watch the performances from home on YouTube.
