Zack de la Rocha is preparing to trek across the United States…
The 52-year-old Mexican American musician, singer, songwriter, rapper and activist and his Rage Against the Machine band mates have announced plans to hit the road starting in July for their long-awaited Public Service Announcement tour.
de la Rocha and his band mates were originally scheduled to go on the road together nearly two years ago, but had to postpone when the pandemic broke.
After bumping from 2020 to summer 2021, the lyrical bomb-throwers will finally take the stage starting on July 9 with a kick-off show at the Alpine Valley Music Theatre in East Troy, Wisconsin, before making their way across North America with stops in Chicago, Toronto, Cleveland, Pittsburgh and a five-night stand in New York.
The dates will then pick up again in early 2023 with another round of shows beginning with a February 22 gig at the Pan American Center in Las Cruces, New Mexico.
That run of gigs will keep the band on the road through a planned two-night stand in Detroit at Little Caesars Arena in early April.
In a note the band said all tickets for the moved dates will be honored; fans who would prefer a refund have until March 15, 2022.
Rage Against the Machine will be joined on your by opening act Run the Jewels.
