The money collection in 2019 was hilarious!

Is there actually anything behind the rumours of them pulling out of R&L or is it based entirely on them not being announced for Coachella? Because not be announced for something is very different to be announced and pulling out.

Very last minute drop-out of Coachella that was sourced as concern over covid on RATM's behalf.

they're probably in the vulnerable age group.

Very last minute drop-out of Coachella that was sourced as concern over covid on RATM's behalf. So that's the first thing. Then there's a bit of guesswork about why you would can your most visible/lucrative date in spring but leave the rest of the tour untouched.

No idea what this means for R&L — it's 7 months away. But something is up in Rage's camp (at the very least, Brad Wilk's recent surgery to fix ongoing knee problems.)

Festivals that were assumed to be announced last week, or even the week before, with RATM as headliner have yet to jump. Boston Calling's teaser tweet lies in awkward silence. Put all the above together, and it isn't the greatest vote of confidence, basically.

 

But you can't officially cancel something that hasn't been announced? I guess time will tell. As a day ticket holder for Reading I live in hope!

There is no evidence at all, just speculation.

Maybe they were never playing Coachella 2 years on from previous festival and you would imagine they would have known they were not playing when announcing they were playing Leeds, Reading and France. 

No reason for them not to play an outdoor festival in August and make a few pounds to do so.

If there was ever a band needed to release something new.

Rage turning up and banging out the old hits again, which were unique to their time, nearly 25 years after the last album.... its a bit Billy Joel.

You'd be angry if you hadn't written anything for a quarter of a decade.

Dunno about that.  They ran out of ideas midway through their first album.

Reassuring to know they only rage against the machine when it’s safe to do so.

Er yeah, except there was verified evidence from multiple outlets that they were playing Coachella 2022. You're just making up extra speculation that they weren't there as pretext for hanging on to the R&L date, which is ironic. Good luck!

Speculation over, I will look forward to seeing them at Leeds 🙂

[Justiceforcedave]

Result! They'll be a a well oiled Rage Against the Machine by the time they get to Reading.

Announcement soon? 

Some dates already leaked like Antwerpen, Krakow, Prague. And it looks like they are coming to Croatia
