Rage Against The Machine 'reunite for five 2020 shows'
Hell yes!
Last updated 1st Nov 2019
Just a day after My Chemical Romance announced their reunion to the world, Rage Against The Machine have seemingly also confirmed they’re reforming for a clutch of shows.
The politically-charged band joined Instagram earlier today (1st November) and posted an single image of the recent Chilean protests. The exact same photo was also shared by guitarist Tom Morello on Instagram earlier this week.
Underneath they listed the following tour dates:
El Paso, TX March 26, 2020
Las Cruces, NM March 28, 2020
Phoenix, AZ March 30, 2020
Indio, CA April 10, 2020
Indio, CA April 17, 2020
The final two dates apparently confirm Tim Commerford, Zack de la Rocha, Tom Morello and Brad Wilk will be headlining Coachella Festival in California next April.
Forbes contacted a long-term associate of the band, Wayne Kamemoto, to verify the post and he simply said "The band's social media is accurate."
Rage Against The Machine have remained inactive since 2011 and their last live show took place at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in July of that year.
The band’s last UK show was their headline slot at Download Festival 2010, which took place six days after their free London Finsbury Park gig that celebrated ‘Killing in the Name’ beating The X Factor to the 2009 Christmas number one.
Tom Morello, Brad Wilks and Tim Commerford have all been active in recent years with their Prophets of Rage supergroup alongside Chuck D from Public Enemy and B-Real of Cypress Hill.
