Rage Against The Machine is getting the band back together.

It's been eight long years since the iconic rock band – who formed in the early '90s – played together, but they've delighted fans today with news they've booked a series of US tour dates in 2020, starting in El Paso, Texas.

In a low-key announcement shared on Instagram, Rage Against The Machine confirmed a string of shows – including a performance in California on the weekend of Coachella in 2020, prompting heavy speculation that it'll soon be named as a headline act, reports News.com.au.
