Introducing Freedom Needs a Soundtrack

Coming June 15, 2026, Freedom Needs a Soundtrack is a six-part audio documentary about the Tibetan Freedom Concerts, one of the largest concert series of the 1990s. The series traces how Erin Potts, who co-founded the concerts with Adam Yauch of the Beastie Boys, and a small team of twenty-somethings helped bring together artists including U2, Rage Against the Machine, Björk, Radiohead, Pearl Jam, A Tribe Called Quest, and others for Tibet. With friends, artists, and organizers who were part of the story, Erin looks back at how the concerts began, what they changed, and what their legacy offers today.
