BLABBERMOUTH.NET

Last month, RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE postponed the start date of its much-anticipated "Public Service Announcement" to this summer. The North American leg of the trek was originally slated to begin in March 2020 before it was rescheduled several times due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The trek will now kick off on July 9 in East Troy, Wisconsin. The 19 RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE shows that were supposed to take place between March 31 and May 23 will now take place in early 2023. The new dates are as follows: Feb. 22 - Las Cruces, NM – Pan American Center Feb. 24 - El Paso, TX – Don Haskins Center Feb. 26 - Glendale, AZ – Gila River Arena Feb. 28 - Glendale, AZ – Gila River Arena Mar. 03 - Oakland, CA – Oakland Arena Mar. 05 - Oakland, CA – Oakland Arena Mar. 07 - Portland, OR – Moda Center Mar. 09 - Tacoma, WA – Tacoma Dome Mar. 11 - Vancouver, BC – Pacific Coliseum Mar. 13 - Calgary, AB – Scotiabank Saddledome Mar. 15 - Edmonton, AB – Rogers Place Mar. 17 - Winnipeg, MB – Canada Life Centre Mar. 19 - Minneapolis, MN – Target Center Mar. 20 - Minneapolis, MN – Target Center Mar. 22 - Sioux Falls, SD – Denny Sanford Premiere Center Mar. 28 - Kansas City, MO – T-Mobile Center Mar. 30 - St. Louis, MO – Enterprise Center Apr. 01 - Detroit, MI – Little Caesars Arena Apr. 02 - Detroit, MI – Little Caesars Arena Support on the trek will still come from RUN THE JEWELS All tickets for the moved dates will be honored. Fans who would like a refund have until March 15 to do so and should contact their point of purchase. The upcoming tour will mark the first time the reunited quartet — Zack De La Rocha, Tom Morello, Brad Wilk and Tim Commerford — has hit the road together since 2011. RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE last played together at L.A. Rising and has resisted calls for a reunion, with vocalist De La Rocha previously believed to be the lone holdout. Guitarist Morello and his fellow RAGE bandmates Commerford (bass) and Wilk (drums) have since teamed up with PUBLIC ENEMY's Chuck D. and CYPRESS HILL's B-Real in the similarly styled PROPHETS OF RAGE. RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE recorded three original studio albums and one set of covers before breaking up in 2000. The group reformed in 2007 but only played sporadic gigs and never a full tour.
