Rage Reunites at Coachella

Published Apr 30, 2007

For the first time in over six years, Rage Against the Machine reunited at this year’s Coachella Festival, bringing an incendiary close to the festival on April 29, according to NME.com

Facing the largest crowd of the weekend, Rage delivered an electric performance while giving fans a retrospective set covering all their hits.

Their performance was sparse, with a red star backdrop and singer Zack De La Rocha keeping the stage banter to a minimum. De La Rocha did introduce the band for the uninitiated, however: "Good evening, we’re Rage Against The Machine from Los Angeles, California.”

With the anti-Bush movement stronger than ever, RATM performed "Wake Up” as the closing song of their main set. The audience was treated to many Rage classics, such as "Bullet In The Head,” "Bulls On Parade,” "Know Your Enemy” and their cover of "Renegades Of Funk.” "Killing In The Name Of” was reserved for their grand finale, with the crowd giving it their all, belting out chorus "Fuck you, I won’t do what you tell me” for possibly the last time ever live.
