Rage Against the Machine (or RATM) has just added 15 dates to its highly anticipated reunion tour in 2020, including eight dates across Canada.

That’s right, this May, the political rap-rockers will hit Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary and Winnipeg, before returning in July for nine shows in eight cities across Québec and Ontario: Ottawa, Québec City, Hamilton and Toronto.

This marks RATM’s first return in more than two decades. Of those tour dates, the four-piece band will headline Ottawa Bluesfest on July 17 and the Festival d’Été de Québec on July 18.

News of the “Public Service Announcement” tour was confirmed in a press release provided to Global News on Monday.

For the newly-announced leg of the world tour, the Wake Up rockers will be joined by world-renowned hip hop duo, Run the Jewels.

The North American leg of the extensive world tour kicks off on March 26 in El Paso, Texas, before concluding with two nights at Madison Square Garden in New York City, on Aug. 10 and 11.

The Bulls On Parade rockers originally disbanded in 2000, after releasing their final album Renegades (2000).

All four original members: Morello, frontman Zack de la Rocha, drummer Brad Wilk, and bassist Tim Commerford reunited in 2007 at the much-beloved Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival before launching a worldwide tour between then and 2008.

Since then, the demand for the political four-piece has only continued to rise.
