Rage Against The Machine announce free show
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 12 February 2010
Rage Against The Machine have announced details of the free gig for UK fans, which the band promised they would play if their song ‘Killing In The Name’ reached the Christmas number one position last year. Which, of course, it did. The show will take place in London’s Finsbury Park on 6 Jun. Fans need to register for tickets at www.theragefactor.co.uk. Registration closes at midnight on Sunday, and tickets will be dished out on a lottery basis from 9am on Wednesday.
Announcing the show, guitarist Tom Morello said: “A historic grassroots rebellion made our song ‘Killing In The Name’ the number one Christmas single of 2009. The people of the UK toppled the ‘X-Factor’ giant, raised a great deal of money for homeless charities, and shocked the world. As a thank you to our UK fans and freedom fighters we promised to play a free show. Well… here we come. 6 Jun, Finsbury Park, the celebration/party/revolution is ON!”
