Rage Against the Machine will reunite for Coachella
Red Hot Chili Peppers and Björk also top the bill for the three-day music festival.

January 22, 2007

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.

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 Björk, who topped the bill in 2002.

Organizers were mum this weekend and it was 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, Tiësto and Kings of Leon.

Tickets go on sale Saturday, via Ticketmaster. Three-day passes will cost about $250 and there will be a limited number of single-day passes available.

The headliners are not novel, but they are potent. The Peppers are up for their first best album Grammy right now, and Björk remains a mesmerizing figure to fans of avant pop. But in Southern California rock circles, there is very little that could compete with the excitement of a Rage Against the Machine reunion. The quartet's hybrid of funk, rap, metal and leftist ideology was as subtle as a Molotov cocktail; in the 1990s, its aggro-anthems made it the only band that mattered to a fan base that included East L.A. protest kids as well as those in Hollywood punk circles, college dorms and mainstream rock festival mosh pits, where politics were secondary to the group's feral energy.

The band is vocalist Zack de la Rocha, guitarist Tom Morello, bassist Tim Commerford and drummer Brad Wilk. Their split came amid rumors of bad blood between De la Rocha and his mates, who went on to work with Chris Cornell in Audioslave. However, Morello and De la Rocha appeared together at a 2005 rally for the urban farmers of a South Los Angeles community garden.

Superunknown

Bendery It Like Beckham

Rollin' down Rodeo wit' a reunion.

DarkPrimus

$250 for a pass is bad enough. But to fly to there and pay for lodging for three days as well?

I'm sorry, but you're going to need to offer a lot more than Rage and the Chili Peppers to make me spend that amount of money.

Stigma

We'll have to wait and see if this is good or embarrassing.

Deusfaux

Rodeo. With...a-

Eh.

D.T.

Oh Jesus.

Please let this show be fantastic. Let it be so fucking good that the band decides to mend their differences and reunite permanently. Or at least tour a little bit.

They are my favorite band, and I never got to see them play.

Druhim

Reminds of when the Murder City Devils got back together to do 1 show in Seattle at the Capitol Hill Block Party. I found out that deni was a huge fan of theirs and he flew up here from Texas with his friend Will just to see them. We all went to the block party and we had a good time but when MCD came on, they sounded pretty aweful to me and my friends. I know deni and Will were still very happy they got to see them though I think even deni agreed they sounded pretty rusty.

no but you will soon hear more and more bands trinkle into the scene
daft punk was by far the best announcement though for last year
each year is usually supposedly equally amazing
but its in the middle of the desert and water bottles cost 10 dollars each

mully

i don't know what to say or do right now
i have so many conflicting emotions

Deusfaux

yeah i think its easily one of the best modern music festivals going... ive wanted to go in the past, but if RATM is playing, then its a done deal

Jordyn

Abracadaniel

She is so proud of that cow. It's name is Jordyn 2.

She has an album. Of pictures. Of the cow.

She showed us.

It's a pretty impressive cow.

I wish I had a cow. Man.

The Geek

Is that the cupcake-eating cow?

It was cinnamon rolls, and I only have like 3 pictures of her here in Seattle. I have a bunch of older pictures back in SD.

jordyn

i am going to ask you a very important question






















why do you have a cow

Abracadaniel

Cause she's a farmer's daughter.

:winky:

Because she grew up in South Dakota.

mrpaku

everyone in south dakota has a cow

Jordyn

She was my show cow when I was in 4-H. My uncle had a dairy farm, so uh, I had a cow. She won county grand champion 7 years in a row, before she died of basically old age, and I didn't show cows again after that.

Abracadaniel

That sounds like the making of a movie Jordyn.

Rocky Balboa.

Except with cow.

Come out of retirement Jordyn, show off them udders.
