Rage Against The Machine will embark on the Public Service Announcement Tour later this year. The band’s first tour in nearly a decade will feature support from Run The Jewels and spans seven months.
Up first for the band consisting of frontman Zack de la Rocha, guitarist Tom Morello, bassist Tim Commerford and drummer Brad Wilk are shows along the Mexican border in El Paso, Texas on March 26; Las Cruces, New Mexico on March 28 and Glendale, Arizona on March 30 ahead of the band’s appearances at Coachella. RATM then continues the tour on the West Coast with stops in Oakland, Portland, Tacoma and Vancouver. Next, the band hits the Canadian cities of Edmonton, Calgary and Winnipeg before a trip to the Midwest for concerts in Sioux Falls, Minneapolis, Kansas City, St. Louis and Chicago.
Rage will follow festival appearances at Boston Calling and Firefly with shows in East Troy, Wisconsin on July 10 and Detroit on July 13 and 15. Sets at Ottawa Bluesfest and Festival d’Été de Québec will lead into headlining concerts in Hamilton (Ontario), Toronto, Buffalo, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Raleigh, Washington D.C. and Camden (New Jersey). The band will then headline Madison Square Garden in New York City on August 10, 11 and 13 before ending the tour in Europe.
“Through ticketing, volunteering and band donations, Rage Against the Machine will be working with multiple charities and activist organizations throughout the tour,” noted the band in a statement. “In addition, 100% of all proceeds from El Paso, Las Cruces and Phoenix will go to immigrant rights organizations.” Tickets go on sale this Thursday, February 13.
