RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE: Alpine Valley Show Officially Announced
June 11, 2007After weeks of rumors and speculation, RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE has officially confirmed its only Midwest date on August 24 the Alpine Valley Music Theater in East Troy, Wisconsin. Support at the show will come from QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE. Tickets go on sale June 16.
Following the band's first performance in seven years at the Coachella Festival in April, its only other confirmed gigs are four dates on the Rock The Bells tour, in late July in New York City and in mid-August in California.
RAGE guitarist Tom Morello recently told Launch that the initial impetus to reactivate the band was not financial but political. "People never stopped offering RAGE shows throughout the whole seven years while the band was gone," he said. "But we got together, and taking a look at the dire times that we live in and, you know, RAGE was certainly the most outspoken political voice in rock music throughout the Nineties, I mean, I think it's long overdue that RAGE comes back and has a say."
