A diverse faction of well-known performers will take the stage in Downtown Portland’s Director Park on Aug. 20, 2016, in an effort to build opposition to the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal with a free rock concert.
Portland is the third stop in the “Rock Against the TPP” tour, which kicked off in July in Denver with legendary guitarist Tom Morello, the Flobots and Talib Kweli.
