Rage Against The Machine have announced a series of dates for 2020, including in Indio, California on the two weekends Coachella 2020 is set to take place.

The news of the band’s reunion comes just one day after My Chemical Romance announced they will reunite for one night only in December.

Rage Against The Machine revealed the tour on Instagram on Friday morning, with the band’s longtime associate Wayne Kamemoto confirming the news to Forbes.

According to the post, they will reunite in El Paso on 26 March 2020, ahead of two further shows in Las Cruces and Phoenix.

Their presumed Coachella headline set will then take place on the weekends of 10 April and 17 April.

The iconic band have not played together since their 2011 LA Rising show.

Frontman Zack de la Rocha, who last released solo material in 2016, has reportedly been working on new solo music for several years.
