The exciting announcement comes after the band announced in January that they will be coming together to headline this year’s Boston Calling Music Festival on May 23. The group will also headline Coachella 2020 alongside Travis Scott and Frank Ocean.
Both Coachella and the Boston Calling Music Festival are included in the “Public Service Announcement” Tour.
In addition to providing excitement for fans, Rage Against the Machine is using their tour as an opportunity to give back to those in need.
Proceeds made from the first three shows in El Paso, Texas, Las Cruces, New Mexico and Glendale, Arizona will go directly to immigrant rights organizations, Rolling Stone reported.
Formed in Los Angeles in 1991, Rage Against the Machine released its debut album Rage Against the Machine in 1992.
The album peaked at number 1 on the U.S. Billboard Heatseakers chart and reached triple platinum status.
