Rage Against the Machine to (eventually) reunite
The Renegades of Funk have returned: Rage Against the Machine will reunite in 2020 for a series of concerts and a headlining performance at Coachella. Next spring, Zack de la Rocha, Tom Morello, Brad Wilk, and Tim Commferford will take the stage for the first time since 2011. The staunchly political rock band will initially play a trio of shows in cities along or near the Mexican border, including El Paso, Texas; Las Cruses, New Mexico; and Phoenix, Arizona. They’ll then head to Indio, California to headline the 2020 installment of Coachella in April. The reunion shows were announced Friday morning via an unverified Instagram account attributed to the band. Industry sources have confirmed to Consequence of Sound that the posting is accurate, and that the band is planning to play more shows beyond these initial dates. This is a developing story… Rage Against the Machine 2020 Tour Dates: 03/26 – El Paso, TX 03/28 – Las Cruces, NM 03/30 – Phoenix, AZ 04/10 – Indio, CA @ Coachella Music Festival 04/17 – Indio, CA @ Coachella Music FestivalR <blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/B4Tw4qFlA3D/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="12" style=" background:#FFF;

re: Rage Against the Machine to (eventually) reunite
Re-unite?
I didn't know they broke up. |
re: Rage Against the Machine to (eventually) reunite
Ugh, I hate Coechella. Hopefully they'll stay together long enough to do more shows in CA
|
re: Rage Against the Machine to (eventually) reunite
These guys are close to the top of my unseen bands list, so I hope they do more shows around the country.

In that case, you should probably look into Audioslave. These days, it seems like bands don't so much break-up as they go on extended hiatuses or hibernation periods. I think RATM was active four or five years ago, no? When I was younger, bands would release an album, tour, work on a new album, release new album, tour, work on another new album, release another new album, tour,.... repeat until they break up. Now album releases are rare, bands take a lot of time between albums if they even release them, go on shorter tours, take extended periods of time off, maybe their only show during a year is a big festival. It seems like bands don't formally break-up anymore, they just sort of drift apart, then get back together a new tour when they're running low on money. |
re: Rage Against the Machine to (eventually) reunite
Many moons ago I got to see these guys play with the Wu-Tang Clan. It was amazing. |
re: Rage Against the Machine to (eventually) reunite
I saw Rage live 3 times including their final shows at the Grand Olympic in L.A.. I also saw Audioslave a couple of times. I never did get to see Prophets, though. Hopefully Rage do some solo shows at non-festivals. I don't like festival shows and I am not going to Coachella.
|
re: Rage Against the Machine to (eventually) reunite
Meh, if there's no new album works then I don't care. They've performed a few shows together since their final album, this isn't the first time they've done this.
|
re: Rage Against the Machine to (eventually) reunite
I saw them play a show in 2009 at the Palladium. I'm good.
|
re: Rage Against the Machine to (eventually) reunite
I agree, especially in the current political climate, they should be creating new material and not just performing old stuff.
And I'm not even a huge fan of theirs. |

re: Rage Against the Machine to (eventually) reunite
I loved Rage growing up; trying to revisit anything post the debut album is painful; it's all horribly dated and a massive product of its political time.

re: Rage Against the Machine to (eventually) reunite
I really, really, really, freaking hate the ticket buying process and waiting room queues.
Edit: They added a third show at MSG. I kind of figured they would, so I was watching for it to get put on TM. When they did, I was right in the top of the queue and was able to get awesome seats. |
re: Rage Against the Machine to (eventually) reunite
Tried for both KC and StL. I was able to get 2 decent seated tix for KC after releasing the initial 4 seat nose-bleeds. KC is during the week and wasn't my first choice but I was still in queue for Stl. Hedged my bets given the no resale/transfer rule and pricing. I just got the 2 for KC and I'm glad I did....all that was left in Stl was nosebleed and it was selling quickly.

re: Rage Against the Machine to (eventually) reunite
I originally was going to go to the show on my own but had a few friends who were adamant on us going together.
I double-checked with them to see if they were free at 11AM (PST) to get tickets, as that is an hour I'm free from teaching classes, so I would be able to hop on. They assured me it was no problem. Well, it ended up being a problem because the person who was supposed to get tickets didn't sign online until 4+ hours after BOTH on-sales. So annoyed. Decided to pay above face value (on Stubhub) as I've been waiting for this opportunity for more than half my life. Ironically enough, I'm probably still going alone :lol: |
re: Rage Against the Machine to (eventually) reunite
The prices for this connected with the whole “ethos” of the band is a joke. I rarely call bands phony sellouts but I will in this instance.

Perhaps someone purchased 4 but only needed 3 and is adding you to their group? |

re: Rage Against the Machine to (eventually) reunite
I just think it's funny when the "fans" trash them because RATM is supposed to be a charity band working for free as opposed to pointing shit out for people. Did people ever not listen to or read their lyrics? Were these so-called fans just stupidly headbanging to their music with no idea what they were headbanging and moshing to? That's the biggest hypocritical statement of all. "Former fans outraged that Rage Against the Machine is raging against the machine!" I remember when that twerp Paul Ryan said that he loved the band. Uh, yeah, because if he actually knew what they were singing about, he'd be a fan. If anything, their stuff is more relevant now than ever before.
|
re: Rage Against the Machine to (eventually) reunite
Nobody is expecting them to work for free, at least I'm not and I don't think that BF is either, but with the prices of these tickets, I think it's fair to say that the majority of the people who can and will attend these shows are entitled white people who indeed are headbanging to the music and not really listening to the message. But hey, if they just want to get paid in 2020, that's their right.
|
re: Rage Against the Machine to (eventually) reunite
There is not a band/tour that should be avoided at all cost more than these dickbirds. Fuck RATM. Corporate rock for out of touch Gen X.
|
re: Rage Against the Machine to (eventually) reunite
Yeah, I'm sorry but the prices are insane--$300 for two nosebleed seats in Sioux Falls. They went from "Stick it to the man" to "Stick it to the fan."
|
re: Rage Against the Machine to (eventually) reunite
I don't get it... The ticket prices for RATM in Detroit were almost exactly the same as the prices for The Black Keys, in the exact same venue. Not only that, but I decided Black Keys weren't worth it, while RATM was... :lol: Granted, I've also seen Black Keys quite a few times, while I have never seen RATM live.
I'm just an entitled , out-of-touch, Gen-X white dude though, so who cares... rotfl |
re: Rage Against the Machine to (eventually) reunite
They held some tickets back to sell at a higher price. Supposedly to prevent people paying higher prices to resellers.
So there are a few tickets for the nosebleed level in Chicago still available. Starting at $400 per ticket. :) :) :) What a bunch of pricks. :) |
re: Rage Against the Machine to (eventually) reunite
I've wanted to see Rage for 20 years and haven't (I've seen Tom in various forms and went to the PoR tour when that came around). I wanted to sit close and was expecting to pay for it. I am surprised they didn't have tiered pricing. But if you sell a bunch of nosebleeds for $50, scalpers will just take them and sell them for $200. Pearl Jam tickets were $120 too. Deftones on this summer tour were trying to charge $75 for an outdoor GA show. Sorry, no thanks. I've seen them many times before and can't justify that price. It just comes down to what it is worth to you.
|
re: Rage Against the Machine to (eventually) reunite
I've never seen them live, and I figured if I didn't see them on this tour, I might never get another chance. 170 Canadian. Worth it. Although it's gonna be tough to beat the Tom Morello show I saw at a club venue a few months ago. AMAZING show.
And yeah, most RATM fans are fucking meatheads. |

So how much were face value average tickets? Everyone is really complaining that it was outraging social media

$125 + about $20 in fees. Every ticket was the same price regardless of location.

And this is the part that's ridiculous. The person in the last row of the upper bowl of an arena shouldn't ever be paying the same price as the person in the first row of the lower bowl, especially when that price is so high.
It also helps keep scalping prices down. The secondary market starting prices aren’t that much more than the face value. Sure, the better seats will sell for more on the secondary market, but that’s always going to happen. If they sold cheap tickets for $50 they’d be scooped up and resold for $150 anyway So why shouldn’t the band get that money and not scalpers? Plus, a lot of the revenue is going to charity. |
