Rage Against The Machine reschedule whole 2020 reunion tour
Rage Against The Machine have rescheduled the entirety of their planned 2020 reunion tour due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Dates set to take place through May had already been postponed in the wake of the global crisis, but the band have now confirmed the whole tour will take place in 2021 instead.
In a message on their official website and social media channels, they wrote: “Rage Against the Machine will commence our tour at such a time when we are confident it will be safe for our fans. The rerouted dates (heath and safety permitting) are below and YOUR TICKETS WILL BE HONOURED for the postponed shows.”
They added that they “respect” fans who want their money back in “this difficult time” and confirmed, “As of this weekend, ANYONE who wants a refund can begin the process at your point of purchase.”
The statement concluded: “We sincerely hope that each one of you and your families and friends stay safe and well and that music is bringing you solace and inspiration. We look forward to seeing you.”

A handwashing tutorial set to Rage Against The Machine’s ‘Killing In The Name’ went viral earlier this year as COVID-19 began to spread. The band’s official Twitter account also shared the visual aid, which offered lyrics to the classic song to help users make sure they washed their hands for 20 seconds.
“On this occasion, it’s best you do what they tell ya,” the band captioned the post.
