Rage Against the Machine went on several hiatuses over the years, and they’re gearing up for another one. After canceling a series of dates throughout 2023, the iconic rock band announced that they “will not be touring or playing live again.”

The drummer Brad Wilk took to social media to share a message on behalf of the band, revealing they won’t be hitting the road together anytime soon.

“I know a lot of people are waiting for us to announce new tour dates for all the canceled RATM shows. So, while there has been some communication that this may be happening in the future… I want to let you know that RATM (Tim, Zack, Tom, and I) will not be touring or playing live again,” wrote Wilk.

He also took a moment to thank every person who’s ever supported them and apologized to fans who’ve been waiting for the tour to happen. Rage Against the Machine and other individual members are yet to comment on Wilk’s statement about their most recent split.

Seeing RATM take a break from performing doesn’t come as a shocker, since this marks their third farewell, following splits in 2000 and 2011. They also decided to cancel the North American leg of their Public Service Announcement Tour in 2023 due to frontman Zach de la Rocha’s injury.

Being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is one of the most prestigious honors music artists could possibly ask for, and the class of 2021 is shaping up to be pretty amazing. The list of nominees is in, and it includes the likes of Foo Fighters, Jay Z, Tina Turner, and many more.

According to Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s official rules, an artist or a band is eligible for a nomination at least 25 years after their first commercial recording.

In addition to the previously mentioned artists, the list of this year’s nominees also includes Mary J. Blige, Kate Bush, Devo, The Go-Go’s, Iron Maiden, Chaka Khan, Fela Kuti, LL Cool J, New York Dolls, Rage Against the Machine, Todd Rundgren, Dionne Warwick, and Carole King.

Seven out of 16 nominees made the cut for the first time, and the chairman of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation, John Sykes, believes they left a significant impact on the music industry.

“This remarkable ballot reflects the diversity and depth of the artists and music the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame celebrates. These nominees have left an indelible impact on the sonic landscape of the world and influenced countless artists that have followed them,” said Sykes in a press release.

Inductees will be announced in May, with the official Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony taking place in Cleveland, Ohio this fall.

The music industry and musicians have been fighting the practice of ticket resale for some time now. And while we have seen some innovative ways to fight ticket scalpers, the plan devised by Rage Against The Machine might be the most intriguing so far.

RATM shared a statement on social media in which they presented a way to keep the tickets for their upcoming tour from resellers and get them into the hands of real fans. According to the band’s recent announcement, they will fight ticket scalpers by becoming ticket scalpers themselves.

The group intends to keep 10% of the tickets for each of their shows for themselves, and later sell them for a higher price but still lower than you would pay to the scalpers. However, the difference will be that Rage Against The Machine will donate all the money they get from such tickets to various charities.

“We are confident this will help many more fans get tickets at face value and put a big dent in the aftermarket gouging,” the band says. “WE HATE SCALPING AS MUCH AS YOU DO and will continue to try to find ways to combat it,” the band stated. 

RATM doubled down on their charity efforts, adding that the profits from their first three reunion shows, scheduled to take place in El Paso, Nampa, and Glendale, will be given to organizations that fight for immigrants’ rights.

2020 will see Rage Against The Machine play live for the first time in nine years. The band is set to play a number of shows in the summer in North America, before heading out to Europe in the fall.

Marking the start of a new decade, 2020 is set to be an exciting year for music. In addition to seeing a steady influx of new artists arriving on the scene, some old favorites are set to reunite. Here are the reunions we are most looking forward to.

My Chemical Romance

After a seven-year hiatus, My Chemical Romance (MCR) are reuniting for select tour dates in 2020. MCR was a staple part of the emo culture in the 2010s. If you are in your mid-twenties and used to rock a sweeping fringe with heavy black eyeliner, you’re probably already putting aside money for tickets.

Rage Against The Machine

After nine-years of, iconic nu-metal band Rage Against The Machine are reforming for three major concert dates, including a headlining slot at Coachella. Expect political lyrics, wicked riffs and major rage.

The Pussycat Dolls

After the success of the Spice Girls reunion, it’s no surprise that noughties pop band The Pussycat Dolls are reforming for a 2020 tour. They are returning after a decade off and may even be releasing new music as well as reviving old classics.

It appears that Coachella 2020 will be all about reunions and comeback concerts. According to Consequence of Sound, legendary rockers Rage Against the Machine and emo icons My Chemical Romance will be among the headliners for this year’s edition of the festival.

RATM themselves already confirmed the appearance back in November, when they shared a list of dates for their reunion tour. The band previously played the festival back in 2007.

My Chemical Romance recently kicked off their reunion tour as well. After triumphant shows in Los Angeles, the band has scheduled dates in Australia, New Zealand, and Asia before they arrive at Coachella. If true, this would be their first appearance at the festival.

Consequence of Sound cites “industry sources,” who revealed more of the line-up, which will officially be revealed sometime this month. RATM and My Chemical Romance should be joined by Frank Ocean and Travis Scott on the headline bill, while Radiohead’s Thom Yorke, Lana Del Rey, and Australian EDM star Flume are also set to make appearances.

Coachella 2020 is set to take place at Empire Polo Club in Indio, Californa on April 10th-12th and April 17th-19th. Tickets will go on sale in early January.
