On July 9, the band—Tom Morello, Tim Commerford, Brad Wilk, and Zack de la Rocha—reunited in East Troy, Wisconsin, at the Alpine Valley Music Theater. The band played several fan favorites, and made a few overtly political statements during the course of the show, including the use of a graphic that stated “ABORT THE SUPREME COURT.”
This first show kicked off the band’s Public Service Announcement Tour that will ultimately see 12 countries, 40 cities, and 51 shows. The hip-hop duo Run The Jewels are accompanying the rock quartet on their reunion tour as well. Find the complete list of RATM tour dates HERE.
