But it's not just political rock stars that are teaming up with Harris.
Rock legend Bruce Springsteen, who has been supporting Democrat presidential candidates for two decades, will perform at Friday evening's rally.
Harris called Springsteen "an American icon."

Also making appearances at the vice president's rally in suburban Atlanta are actor, filmmaker and playwright Tyler Perry, film director, producer, screenwriter and actor Spike Lee, and actor Samuel L. Jackson.
While Harris is in Georgia, legendary musician James Taylor was scheduled to perform at a rally in neighboring North Carolina – another key battleground – headlined by Harris' running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. Taylor was scheduled to perform at the DNC but was bumped due to timing issues.

Another Detroit-born star, rapper, songwriter and music producer Eminem, joined Obama at a Tuesday rally in the battleground state's largest city to get-out-the-vote for Harris.

The former president also enjoys the backing of other celebrities, including Telsa founder and multibillionaire Elon Musk, hip-hop star, rapper and fashion designer Kanye West, singer Kid Rock, actors Jon Voight and Kelsey Grammar, former NFL star quarterback Brett Favre, former Indy racer Danica Patrick, and celebrity chef Paula Deen.
While celebrity endorsements can grab plenty of media attention and add excitement to campaign rallies, it's questionable how much they move the needle in terms of bringing a new wave of support to a candidate.
Veteran Republican strategist David Kochel noted that using celebrities has "been a big part of the playbook for a long time," especially with Democrat presidential candidates.
But he argued that they rarely "move people" or "move the message."
