Five For Fighting rose to notoriety with "Superman", of course, but that's far from the only popular thing they've done. The band has released six albums, including "America Town" and "The Battle For Everything", which are both platinum certified.

John Ondrasik, the leader of the band, recently released a charity video for the song "Can One Man Save the World". The song, which features the Ukrainian Orchestra, was inspired by Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenskyy.

"It's not just a tribute song," Ondrasik told Good Morning America, in a recent interview. "It's a plea to the rest of us to support him. We don't know how this is going to end."

Tickets are still on sale for the Melody Tent show, and for those who don't win the giveaway. For tickets, click here.

Doors open at 7 p.m. at the Melody Tent, with the show scheduled for 8 p.m. Five For Fighting will be joined by The Verve Pipe.
