It's official! Rage Against The Machine is back and they announced an insane routing with rock-friendly hip hop duo Run The Jewels. While we did have a handful of shows leaked a few months ago, insiders did say that plenty more shows were coming and they were not wrong.
Zack de la Rocha, Tom Morello, Brad Wilk, and Tim Commferford will first reunite on March 26th near the Texas/Mexico border in El Paso, and then a show in New Mexico and Arizona before headlining Coachella festival. After that, it's full-on tour mode as the crew have dates from April through September.
It should be noted that the band booked at least one day off between virtually all of the shows. The lone exception is two straight nights at New York's Madison Square Garden in August. What do they have planned for New York City?
Tickets go on sale Thursday, February 14th via Ticketmaster. All proceeds from the first three shows along the border will go directly to immigrant rights organizations, while a portion of the proceeds from their other shows will be donated to charities throughout the year. You can also find ticket deals here after the tickets went on sale.
