After My Chemical Romance announced their return from a 6 year hiatus on Halloween, how could anyone top that? Well, Rage Against The Machine just did by announcing return, as well. Though the iconic protest band hasn’t played a show together since 2011, that’s all about to change with a string of tour dates in 2020, including a set at Coachella, where they’ll be headlining.
The rap-metal pioneers, who first emerged on the music scene with 1992’s legendary self-titled debut album, helped to push nu-metal bands toward the mainstream later in the decade by way of their influence and popularity. Subsequent albums like Evil Empire solidified their status as one of the most politically-motivated bands of their time, as well as controversial.
