2020 was suppose to be the year Rage Against the Machine reunited, not a year plagued with ... well, a pandemic! But here we are... It's been 9 years since RATM played a show, so what's another year, right?!
Since nostalgia is all we have right now, we're highlighting the last concert on RATM's reunion tour before they went back on hiatus, which was exactly 9 years ago today. The show took place on July 30, 2011 at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and was the only concert they did that year. The reunion tour had initially kicked off in 2007, and was the first shows RATM had played together since 2000.
The 14-song setlist was part of the L.A. Rising festival alongside acts like Immortal Technique, Lauryn Hill, Rise Against and Muse. It featured several of their most popular anthemic protest songs, including opening song "Testify."
Fans got to hear them go all out on performances of "Know Your Enemy," "Bulls on Parade," "Guerrilla Radio," and set ender "Wake Up." They came back for a two-song encore of "Freedom" and "Killing in the Name."
Check out the complete setlist below:
