Rage Against The Machine‘s reunion has been confirmed and will centre around next year’s Coachella Festival, reports Consequence Of Sound.
They suggest dates put up on Instagram are accurate according to band sources, and will start with gigs El Paso, TX; Las Cruces, NM and Phoenix, AZ at the end of March 2020 before the two Coachella weekends in April.
Things went quiet in the Rage world with little fanfare eight years ago, not long after the gig at Finsbury Park in London had celebrated their unlikely, Facebook-led march to the UK’s Christmas Number One in 2009:
“Of course, De La Rocha and the rest of his RATM band mates have always had their minds on more serious matters than chart-topping success,” our review of the show reads. “Township Rebellion was introduced by the frontman with an angry condemnation of Israel’s blockade of Gaza. His audience, naturally, gave full and vocal support.”
“Next up was a real belting performance of Bullet in the Head, which was followed by Morello inviting Jon and Tracy Morter on to the stage. The two people who made it all happen were given a huge ovation, as well as a huge novelty cheque from the guitarist.”
