It's happening. It's really happening. After numerous delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Rage Against the Machine's feverishly anticipated comeback tour, which will mark the rap-metal band's first live shows in over a decade, are almost upon us. The massive trek with Run the Jewels — one of our 25 most anticipated tours of 2022 — is set to kick off July 9th in East Troy, Wisconsin, and continue through mid-August, picking up again early next year (see dates below).
Yesterday (June 1st), RATM posted photos from rehearsal that afternoon (the pics are notably time-stamped), showing them shaking off the rust together. It's enough to raise goosebumps on the arms of any die-hard fan. Wake up!
