The reformed Rage Against The Machine have confirmed 40 dates on their reunion tour.

The North American run of shows will kick off on March 26 at the Don Haskins Center in El Paso, TX, and conclude in early August with two shows at the iconic Madison Square Garden in New York. 

The run of dates includes the two previously announced shows at the Coachella Festival in California, as well as other festival appearances at Boston Calling, Firefly Music Festival, Quebec City Festival and Ottawa Bluesfest. 

The tour will arrive in Europe in late August for performances at this year's Leeds and Reading festivals on August 28 and August 30, before heading to continental Europe for six further shows, climaxing at Vienna Stadthalle in Austria on September 12. 

Full dates below. Tickets for the North American shows go on sale on February 13 via Ticketmaster. Tickets for Leeds and Reading go on sale on the same date.  

Support on all shows apart from the festival dates and the Chicago show comes from American hip hip duo Run The Jewels, who featured RATM vocalist Zack de la Rocha on their 2014 track Close Your Eyes (and Count to Fuck).    

Rage Against The Machine announced their reformation in late 2019, the news coming after Tom Morello, Brad Wilk and Tim Commerford revealed they were dissolving Prophets Of Rage and were hooking up once again with de la Rocha for five shows.
