Tom Morello announces new American tour
Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello has announced a new solo tour of North America with his electric band, set to take place in November this year.
Morello made the announcement of the tour via his social media on July 22nd, noting that he will be stopping in on seven cities across the United States later this year, starting on November 13th in Chicago and ending on November 22nd in Mashantucket.
The latest string of shows come as Morello is already set to tour extensively across North America in the coming months, with a huge tour of Canada taking place across October and the beginning of November, before the new leg of shows in the US commences.
In his announcement for the tour, Morello said that he would be “coming at you this Fall!” before joking that his shows would be “the last big event before they throw us all in jail!”
The guitarist has continued to make his voice increasingly clear within the current social climate, most recently becoming one of the most prominent stars to back the Irish rap trio Kneecap throughout their ongoing controversies.
Branding the band as “the Rage Against the Machine of now”, Morello explained his support in a previous interview by saying: “What they’re doing in their art is what people could probably stand to do more in their lives: to really speak truth to power. And, you know, Kneecap are not terrorists.”
The frontman is also a vocal opponent of US President Donald Trump, backing his close friend Bruce Springsteen during the pair’s fiery feud in May this year.
Presale tickets for Morello’s US tour will go on sale on July 23rd, while general sale will take place on July 25th at 10am local time.
