Rage Against the Machine's 2020 World Tour - full list of dates and how to get tickets to the Reading and Leeds shows

It has been over a decade since a wave of revolt impelled Rage Against the Machine to Christmas number one with Killing In The Name.

Most of that time was spent in hiatus, but the band have now re-assembled and are ready to embark on the 40-date “Public Service Announcement” tour this summer, with some high-profile, like-minded friends in tow.

Here’s everything you need to know.

When is the 2020 tour?

The mammoth tour will take place from 26 March to 12 September.

That run includes appearances at both the Leeds (28 August) and Reading (30 August) festivals.

Where are the playing?

The tour will kick off with a show in El Paso on 26 March, with all proceeds going to immigrants rights charities, reminding fans that RATM have always been as much about the message as the music.

The next two nights, in Las Cruces and Glendale, will also be used to raise money for this cause.

After the El Paso gig, RATM will play a huge series of shows all over the US, including major festivals like Coachella.

During that run, they’ll also sneak over to Canada for shows in Quebec and Toronto.

While the initial North American shows had been announced already, we now know that RATM will also be heading over to Europe for another leg of their massive tour.
