January 26, 200719 yr Source Rage Against The Machine, the seminal L.A. band that made heavy music into political manifesto, will reunite after a seven-year lull for one show as the headliners at the 2007 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, the Los Angeles Times reported. Sources say Rage, which played the main stage at the first Coachella in 1999, will be joined by other familiar faces for the eighth edition of the festival, which covers three days this year and begins April 27: Red Hot Chili Peppers, which headlined in 2003, are back, as is BjÃÆÃâÃâörk, who topped the bill in 2002. It's not clear which day Rage or the other acts were slotted to play; that announcement is expected in the next few days. Other acts expected in the eclectic lineup: Arcade Fire, Interpol, Willie Nelson, the Roots, Manu Chao, the Decemberists, Arctic Monkeys, Sonic Youth, Crowded House, Air, TiÃÆÃâÃâësto and Kings Of Leon. Rage, which broke through in 1992 with the defiant single "Killing in the Name," won fans across the social spectrum with singer Zack de la Rocha's rap-based lyrics backed by the band's hard-rock melodies. They topped the U.S. pop album charts in 1996 with "Evil Empire" and in 1999 with "The Battle of Los Angeles."

January 26, 200719 yr Author Tickets for these are going to be like finding a needle on the bottom of the ocean, let alone a haystack. They are going to be outrageoulsy pricey too. Coachella can hold around 200 000 people I've heard? I heard Coldplay barely sold 70% of the seats when they played there.

Coachella can hold around 200 000 people I've heard? I heard Coldplay barely sold 70% of the seats when they played there. Well, it's the first performance in 7 years, and most likely the last one ever. People are going to want to see this, and are going to be willing enough to pay a crazy amount of money for them. And Coldplay is overrated anyway. I just checked who is playing, and I didn't know Pharoe Monch still played at events. 122 Combat : 99 Hits : 99 Attack : 99 Strength97/99 Defence : 99 Fletching : 99 Woodcutting

I still get chills down my spine when I hear Zack's rhymes and Tom's riffs.

January 27, 200719 yr haha guy i'm going to see them haha i Bought ticket $150 :shock: good thing zack playing Chris cornell sucks singing rage song Single day passes are $85, and 3 day passes are $250. And if I remember correctly when I called, they don't go on sale for another 51 minutes. :-w And if Chris was the one singing, they wouldn't be scheduled as Rage.
February 9, 200719 yr They must have offered rage MILLIONS, because they turned down huge money to play in the past. ~
February 20, 200719 yr Chris Cornell left Audioslave now so I'm keeping my fingers crossed this concert will boost RATM into a reunion. All I can say though, is thank you Mr. Bush for making RATM so mad about the U.S. situation to get back together again for one last concert. \
