Rage Against The Machine reuniting for Coachella ‘07
Extinguishing the whirlwind storm of rumors circling around, it was announced officially by Billboard, that Rage Against The Machine will be reuniting to play a set at this year’s Coachella. The performance will be the first time the band has shared a stage together since 2000, when frontman Zach de la Rocha left the band.
According to “sources,” the performance will be a one-off but seeing how the former bandmates apparently get along fairly well these days, a reunion tour doesn’t seem like a stretch.
RATM was one of the first band’s I REALLY became obsessed with (they were also my first concert). I hope this is the beginning to a full-blown reunion where the band stops covering their former group’s material with that “super”-group crapshoot known as Audioslave and actually plays them in the proper setting, together.
Along with RATM, the festival will also feature Bjork, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Arcade Fire, Sonic Youth, The Roots, Air and a (rumored) performance from another reunited heavyweight; The Police. It will take place on April 27th to the 29th.
