Rage Factor

[r0w]

Not age, performance, they looked slow, tired and awkward like (but not nearly as bad) the RHCP. Take Motorhead brilliant live but they are not twirling about on stage are they?

back on topic... has anyone heard any news about possible openers/subs

thx

[lharris92]

Does It Offend You Yeah?, winner on the fan vote and either Jane's Addiction/Gogol Bordello/Gallows who are supporting there other shows, with my money on it being Gallows but I'd much rather take Gogol.

[lharris92]

DIOYY is on the efestivals rumour page as tbc, and Gallows/Gogol/Jane is an educated guess.

[boffy12]

not even that far away now, you would think they would have a shortlist so more rumours out

Rap metal icons Rage Against The Machine have confirmed more details of their upcoming free show in London.

A true 'David vs Goliath' battle, the campaign to send Rage Against The Machine to Christmas number one last year succeeded beyond anyone's wildest dreams.

Amongst the highlights: Rage Against The Machine performing on 5Live, Cheryl Cole going into meltdown over the apparent 'bullying' of Joe McElderry and of course that final, historic chart countdown.

Smashing into the charts at number one, Rage Against The Machine fought off competition from the might of 'The X Factor'. A campaign driven by fans, the band donated all profits to charity and announced a one off show in London to celebrate.

Taking place in Finsbury Park on July 6th, the show will feature support from Gallows. Now the Daily Swarm has claimed that Rage Against The Machine will be supported by Jane's Addiction and Gogol Bordello.

The show is free to fans who entered a prize draw, with 40,000 people set to descend on Finsbury Park. Bound to be one of the live shows of the year, Rage Against The Machine have promised "a victory party to end all victory parties".

Los Angeles sleaze-rockers Jane's Addiction are due to perform, with Perry Farrell & Co. always a spectacular live act. Gogol Bordello recently released their latest album, a collision of gypsy-punk and South American rhythms.

Meanwhile, that historic Facebook page is still clocking up fans. It currently stands at 532,969 people - more than 28,000 over the actual amount of singles sold to defeat X Factor winner Joe McElderry.

[PastCaring]

But who won the vote???????

[evilhasnever]

That is a weird article, they keep saying alleged and then half way through they talk about Download for no reason.

[lharris92]

i will call this bs until an official confirmation is made. the first post has no source and metalhammer keeps using "alleged" which means they have no clue

[lharris92]

The source for both of them is the daily swarm (never heard of it) but as guess they are saying it is those bands as they supporting the other euro shows as that's about it though.

[PastCaring]

According to their website, Gogol Bordello are playing Rock am Ring on 6th June, although they are apparently supporting Rage in Dublin and in Holland.

[PastCaring]

Neither of the other two have anything listed on their websites for 6th June - so maybe Shame cos Gogol Bordello are a good laugh live - but neither of the other two appeal to me!

Interesting - I wonder what they mean by 'shortly' - and whether we're right in what we've guessed so far

[david134]

My source is the website that came from.

[kris606]

Looks like its not true anyway.

"UPDATE

Except, of course, they won't be. Rage Against The Machine are still planning to play a one off show in London, but their PR company have just informed ClashMusic that no decision has yet been taken on the support acts.

Looks like The Daily Swarm jumped the gun, and we followed. Apologies all round, but more on the full line up when we have it!"

That was on clashmusic.com

[lharris92]

my guess is monday they will announce something

[Guitargeek4]

Gallows are playing then. Still annoyed at no Cypress Hill.

[lharris92]

apparently an announcement soon

wouldnt mind guessing its tonight on zane lowe's show on radio 1
