Rage against the machine run the jewels tour 2022

Rage Against The Machine’s long-postponed reunion tour with Run The Jewels opening was originally meant to happen in 2020, if you can remember that far back. The “Public Service Announcement” tour was initially rescheduled for summer 2021, and then it was postponed for another year due to the ongoing, never-ending pandemic. Now, RATM have dropped this spring’s 2022 tour dates on their social-media accounts, very exciting.

The “Public Service Announcement” tour kicks off in a few days in Nas Cruces, New Mexico and wraps up in August with a five-date residency at Madison Square Garden in New York. Check out the full list of rescheduled dates below.

Rage Against The Machine have been forced to cancel their forthcoming UK and European tour dates.

The band returned to action only last month after an 11-year absence, kicking off a North American tour with Run The Jewels which had originally been due to start in March 2020.

However, during the second show of the rescheduled tour in Chicago on July 11, frontman Zack de la Rocha injured his leg mid-performance. De la Rocha has since continued the tour with RATM, though he has been seated on stage while performing during each subsequent gig.

This afternoon (August 11) RATM have confirmed that, due to “medical guidance”, de la Rocha has been advised not to proceed with performing beyond their run of dates at New York City’s Madison Square Garden, which conclude on Sunday (August 14).

This means that RATM’s forthcoming UK and European tour dates, which included a pair of headline slots at Reading & Leeds next month, have been cancelled.

“It is with great disappoint that we announce this cancellation,” the band said in their statement. “Zack must return home for rest and rehabilitation [following the New York shows]. The flights, travel time and rigorous schedule in the UK and Europe are simply too much of a risk for a complete recovery.

“We are sorry to all of our fans who have waited years to see us, and hope to Rage again soon.”

August
24 – Royal Highlands Centre, Edinburgh
26 – Leeds Festival, Leeds

RATM’s next scheduled tour dates are set to begin in February 2023, with the North American run set to last until early April 2023.

Rage Against The Machine brought out their tour openers Run The Jewels for a performance of ‘Close Your Eyes (And Count to Fuck)’ – watch fan-shot footage below.

The track, which features Zack de la Rocha, appeared on Run The Jewels’ second studio album in 2014.

Rage Against The Machine are currently on their ‘Public Service Announcement’ North American tour, which began on July 9. Prior to this current run of gigs, Rage hadn’t played live since 2011.

During their show in Toronto on July 23, the band brought out RTJ after playing ‘Wake Up’ and ‘Guerrilla Radio’. Elsewhere in their set, they played a cover of Bruce Springsteen‘s ‘The Ghost of Tom Joad’.

Zack de la Rocha was once again performing while sitting down due to a leg injury he sustained during Rage’s show in Chicago on July 11.

At the same gig, Tom Morello was inadvertently tackled by a security guard during closing track ‘Killing In The Name’ after a fan managed to make it up on stage.

A security guard was quick to respond, and ran towards the man in an attempt to remove him. The stage-crasher, however, fell into the pit as Morello was accidentally taken down.

Morello eventually managed to get himself back up on the stage, and was met with cheers and applause from the crowd. “Don’t try that shit,” de la Rocha announced. “We’re cool, we love y’all… but don’t do that.”

Next month, Rage Against The Machine return to the UK to play a huge outdoor show in Edinburgh and headline Reading & Leeds 2022. Find tickets for RATM’s UK dates here, and North American ones here.

Meanwhile, Run The Jewels will be supporting Rage Against The Machine in Edinburgh and will also be heading to Reading & Leeds 2022, followed by shows in Europe with the band.
